Pure Kashmiri Pashmina Kani Shawl — Blush Multicolour

Rs.18,000.00

A pure Kashmiri pashmina Kani shawl on a pale blush ground, handwoven with purple, coral and red flowering vines across the full field and a striped arched border at each end.

Kani is the oldest and slowest of Kashmir's shawl techniques. The pattern isn't printed or embroidered onto the cloth — it is built into the weave itself, colour by colour, using small wooden bobbins called kanis. The weaver follows a coded pattern script and may complete only an inch or two in a day, which is why a piece like this is measured in months of work rather than hours.

This is the most colour-dense piece in the collection. Six or seven shades run through the field, and each one is a separate bobbin the weaver has to carry, place and change by hand — the count of colours is the plainest measure there is of how long a Kani took. The pale blush ground keeps all of it light rather than heavy, which is what makes a shawl this busy still wearable in daylight.
