Brief Elucidation: Kani weaving is a traditional craft of the Kashmir region in India, and it is known for its intricate patterns and fine craftsmanship. This weaving technique is predominantly used to create luxurious shawls, stoles, and other textile products. The word "Kani" is derived from the Kashmiri term "Kanih," which means small sticks, and it refers to the small bamboo sticks used in the weaving process.
The hallmark of Kani weaving is its intricate patterns. The weavers use the small bamboo sticks (kanis) to create these patterns, which are usually geometric or floral in nature. The designs are created by carefully interlacing colored threads to form the desired pattern.
