You will feel as proud as you look since Luxury Cashmere Pashmina wool is one of the finest handmade cashmere fibres, especially when crafted into a Kani shawl or stole. Luxury Kani Pashmina shawls & stoles are handwoven by skilled Kashmiri artisans — in some cases two weavers work together on a single piece, weaving one stitch at a time on a traditional loom.

Celebrate festivals or gift loved ones this mesmerizing piece of cashmere luxury — each Kani stole or shawl is a testament to artisanal legacy. These products are handmade, often taking many months or even years to complete, depending on the complexity.

The Kani technique of these Pashmina shawls & stoles involves the insertion of colored Pashmina threads using thin wooden sticks called “Tojli” or “Kanis”, to build rich, multi-coloured motifs. Often, dozens of these kanis (wooden bobbins) are used for a single design, especially in intricate Jamawar-style patterns.

The colourful and precisely designed Kani reversible shawls are woven using the finest hand-spun Pashmina. Weavers follow a coded design (called “Talim”) that guides the exact placement of each coloured thread. Each piece is woven by two professional artisans sitting side by side at the loom.

Price of a Kani Pashmina shawl or stole depends on:

  • Number of colours used: more colours = more kanis = more labour
  • Intricacy of the pattern: simple motifs cost less; Jamawar-style or full-design shawls are more expensive
  • Tightness of weave: tighter weave takes more time and skill
  • Weaving time: a piece can take several months or even up to a year (or more for very elaborate designs) to complete

Because of these factors, Kani Pashmina shawls and stoles are priced as luxury heritage items — not just as accessories.

FAQ Questions

What is the difference between a Kani shawl and a Kani stole?

Answer: A Kani stole is a narrower and typically shorter version of a Kani shawl, but both are woven using the same traditional technique with wooden kanis (bobbins) and premium Pashmina wool. The same artisan skill, weave, and design principles apply — the main difference is in size and drape.

Why is a Kani Pashmina shawl so expensive?

Answer: The price depends on several factors: how many colours are used (each colour uses separate kanis), the intricacy of the pattern (e.g., Jamawar-style), how tight the weave is, and how long it takes to weave. These shawls can take several months or even a year to complete, making them luxury heritage pieces.

How long does it take to weave a Kani Pashmina shawl or stole?

Answer: It depends on the design complexity. Simpler pieces may take a few months, while detailed, multicolour Jamawar-style shawls can take many months to up to a year or more, as artisans weave carefully, one stitch at a time.

What materials are used in Kani Pashmina shawls and stoles?

strong>Answer: These are made from pure cashmere (Pashmina) wool, hand-spun by artisans. The coloured patterns are created using fine Pashmina yarn wound around thin wooden sticks (called kanis or Tojli).

How are Kani Pashmina shawls made?

Answer: Weavers use a traditional loom and insert coloured Pashmina threads using small wooden bobbins (kanis) according to a coded pattern (a Talim). Two artisans often work together, each weaving one stitch at a time to build the pattern row by row.
