Kani Shawl
The Kani shawl is a beautiful traditional garment that is handwoven in the Kashmir valley of India. These shawls are made using a special weaving technique known as the Kani technique, which involves weaving each individual thread separately, rather than using a shuttle. This painstaking process can take months to complete, and the resulting shawls are works of art that are treasured for their intricate designs and luxurious feel. The Kani shawl is traditionally made from fine Pashmina wool, which is prized for its softness and warmth. The shawls are decorated with a variety of intricate designs, including floral motifs, paisleys, and geometric patterns, and are often embroidered with silk or gold thread. Today, the Kani shawl remains a popular garment in the Kashmir valley, and is coveted by collectors and fashion lovers around the world.
