The Kullu Shawls | The Kinnauri Shawls | The Extra Weft Woven Shawls

Due to limitations in geometrical designs certain modifications have been done in Kullu Shawls by imparting extra weft for patterning. In this type of shawls many new designs can be woven by imparting extra weft for patterning in place of typical patterning. It is also simplified, less time consuming, cheaper in cost and commercially viable.
