Some hours with the Pashmeen weavers.
Few hours which i spent at a pashmeen weaving mini organization in srinagar. It was a different experience to see people weaving more than 40 threads at a time by hand. The script shown in the third picture is which weavers follow and this is how their hands go from one string to other while making a shawl. It takes weavers a lot of time, effort, learning, and understanding of the craft to make one shawl. This is the reason why pashmeen shawls are too costly in the market. Here are nine pictures which would give you an idea of how they work and how it is made.
