Kani weaving is a traditional textile art form originating from the Kashmir region of India. It involves the use of a handloom to create intricate patterns and designs, often depicting floral motifs and landscapes. The process requires skilled artisans who meticulously weave colorful threads into fine shawls and stoles, making each piece unique. The technique uses a special type of loom called a Kani loom, which allows for the creation of detailed patterns by manipulating multiple threads simultaneously. Kani shawls are highly valued for their craftsmanship and are often considered a symbol of luxury and cultural heritage in Kashmir.
