A shawl with a width of about 90 cm needs about 3800 silk yarn threads. Drafting It is the process of inserting silk yarn into nylon nettings to form different patterns on the shawls. There are certain ways in which this can be done. If you insert the silk yarn in the wrong way the yarn will not get locked which will ruin the shawl. This is done with the help of a hand loom where the silk yarn is places horizontally and the pashmina is the filling.
Weavers fill in the missing threads with the help of needle and pashmina yarn.
In this process the silk yarn that is left without being weaved is tied into knots known as fringes. There are usually 90-100 fringes in a shawl whose width is about 90 cm. In each fringe there are about 30-35 silk yarns. The shawls are usually crushed for about 10-15 minutes each. This help to bring the soft feeling to the shawls.
