Jamawar-Style Sozni Shawl

Srinagar, Kashmir

In the jamawar manner the embroidery does not stop at the border — silk-thread sozni covers the entire field, until the base cloth shows only as the ground colour between motifs. Paisleys, blossoms and trailing stems repeat across the shawl. Held in the hand it is still unmistakably pashmina: soft, light, warm through.

Covering the whole field in needlework is the longest form of sozni; the embroiderer works seated at a frame, a section at a time, over many months.

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