Description
Kani shawl is a type of shawl originating from the Kanihama area of Kashmir. It is one of the oldest handicraft of Kashmir. This craft has been a part of the valley since the time of Mughals. The shawls are woven from pashmina yarn.
Kani Artisans are people with tremendous skill and patience.
The amount of concentration these artisans have is unbelievable. Depending on the intricacy and complexity of the design being woven, an artisan can weave a maximum of one inch per day. It can take anywhere between 6 to 24 months to weave a Kani Shawl. Its not surprising why Kani Shawls are housed in world’s finest museums like Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the department of Islamic art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
