Kani refers to small wooden sticks. Different colored yarns are wound around these Kani sticks and woven together on base threads according to a special coded pattern to create intricate motifs. The more colors and complex the pattern, the longer the hours of craftsmanship required; creating one scarf takes at least 3 weeks. It is an artisanal technique that demands immense care and patience. Even when dressed simply, a Kani shawl draped over your shoulders elevates your entire presence. Indian celebrities and dignitaries, both men and women, are often seen wearing a Kani shawl during special VIP receptions as a gesture of respect and a symbol of status. Examining the threads on the reverse side reveals the exquisite fineness of the weave, leaving no doubt about its impeccable craftsmanship. Material Introduction: India and Nepal are home to many world-class luxury goods, such as Cashmere scarves. While each sheep yields several kilograms of wool per year, only about 150 grams of cashmere is collected from a goat. Anyone who has used cashmere knows the difference. Compared to ordinary wool scarves that can feel stuffy and heavy, cashmere is in a league of its own. It is exceptionally warm, incredibly soft, and possesses a natural sheen, earning it the nickname "diamond fiber."
