Kani Pashmina Stole

Kanihama, Kashmir

The kani technique brought down to stole width: floral bands woven in with small wooden bobbins, colour interlocked with colour across the twill ground. Because the pattern is woven rather than stitched, the reverse reads almost as clearly as the face. A way to wear Kanihama's slow weaving without the full breadth of a shawl.

Each colour in the pattern rides its own wooden kani bobbin, interlocked with its neighbours row by row so the design is the cloth, not a layer on it.

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