About Kani Shawls Specialty
As late as the 18th century, jamavar shawls from India were hand woven using different color bobbins called kanis , hence
derived the name known as "kani " shawls. The name was sign of highest
ranking jamavar shawls. Now the hand weaving of that type of
intricately designed jamavar shawl is no longer commercially viable,
since one shawl would take a craftsman weaver months or years, to
complete. Now Kani Jamavar shawls today are made on automated
jacquard looms by us and is liked by all due to rare craftsmanship
which is difficult to replicate though many try to copy us.
we have crafted the technique by developing a techniques to more
closely replicate this intricate crisply multicolor motifs of the
original kani jamavar shawls. Surprisingly it sells in market as Kani
shawl the original so developed is the technique
We
make this modern kani jamavar shawls are on special jacquard looms but
are significantly different from the regular known jacquard jamavar
shawls sold in market. Here, the kani shawls’ motifs are more
intricately define and is distinguished by a larger number of colors
than a jacquard jamavar. .
As kani shawl will usually incorporate a large number of colors the
weft threads on a kani shawl are carried along as floats on the back
side of the shawl and are only woven in when their colors are required.
When the weaving is finished, the float threads are cut away by hand.
This hand cutting is a time consuming process delicate one and add to a
shawl’s cost.
