Kashmir shawls are highly prized for their fine wool, skilled weaving and embroidery, and soft texture.

The Kashmir Shawl - Historical Novel Society

Our features are original articles from our print magazines (these will say where they were originally published) or original articles commissioned for this site.

It is said that pure Pashmina is so fine and smooth that you can run an entire shawl through a finger ring with ease. The provocative opening takes a dark turn when Lily receives a warning about Ryle’s intentions from his sister, who becomes Lily’s employee and close friend. Each of our Kashmiri silk rugs have a very high knot density, making them some of the best that Kashmir carpet weavers have to offer.

Kashmiri shawls are traditionally decorated using kani, tiny bobbins wound with different coloured threads, and the artisan manipulates the bobbins to create the design one deft move at a time. The pattern generally known as paisley, for instance, started out as a slender Persian cypress tree on early shawls, before ripening into a curvy Indian mango.

When Pashmina wool is used for the embroidery work, it is made to blend so intimately with the texture of the basic shawl material that it would be difficult to insert even a fine needle between the embroidery stitches and the basic fabric. The only flaw (if it is a flaw) is that all of the ends are tied up so neatly – especially Farida and Zahra – that one was just too pat.
