It may be made from mill spun or hand spun yarn. The fibre is
merino wool, local sheep wool, Pashmina, Angora or a mixture of
these. The yarn used may be dyed or of natural colours.The shawl
is believed to be a relatively recent introduction to the tradition
of Himachal Pradesh. Shawl weaving today has become one of the
most flourishing industries providing a means of livelihood to
about 35 thousand weavers of the state.
