In the past , the weaving of Pashmina Cashmere scarfs was done in the most intricate designs; But today most Pashmina is woven in a plain twill, ready to receive the embroidery which gives the nearest approximation to the old style Cashmere shawls or else in stripes and checks.While plain pashmina weaving is completely different from kani weaving , despite the fact that they use identical looms, it also bears very little resemblance to modern handloom weaving on the fly shuttle loom. For a start, the delicacy of the yarns means that they are liable to break, and the regularity of the throw and catch motions is continually interrupted to deal with this. Secondly, the monotonous clack of the fly shuttle is eliminated. A Pashmina weaver’s workshop in which five or six looms may be packed in to a space the size of a small bedroom- presents a picture of quite concentration and unhurried movement, the only sound, beyond a little desultory conversion.
