Reversible Soft Silk Wool Kashmiri Stole. Light warmth (Loom woven) Shawl making and wool weaving has been a Kashmiri specialty for over 500 years. Shawls have been worn and used as a warm protective garment by kings and queens since ancient times. However, the Mughal emperor Akbar experimented with various styles and encouraged weavers to try new motifs, which helped establish a successful shawl industry. Jammu & Kashmir specializes in the weaving of Raffal & Pashmina shawls. There are a number of wool combinations using various types of wool that impact the overall softness and texture of the stole, muffler or shawl. The shawls and stoles are available in a multitude of colours – woven in patterns, plain or embroidered.
