Diamond Twill Pashmina Shawl

Srinagar, Kashmir

Woven in the small diamond twill Kashmiris call chashm-e-bulbul, the nightingale's eye. Held to the light, the surface shows a faint allover lattice made entirely by the crossing of warp and weft. It is a weaver's shawl — no thread of decoration added, all the interest in the structure of the cloth itself.

The hands
The diamond figure comes from the loom's treadling order alone — no embroidery, just the weaver's footwork repeated thousands of times.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
