Rectangular Wool Scarf Clothes For Winter Handcrafted Gifts India Dress. WrapStole in pure wool with designs of antique pais is very popular in India, just in the way pashmina silk Cashmere Wrap stoles and Cashmere Wrap scarfs are popular in the west. It may be for the simple reason that they go very well with some Indian dresses like saree and salwar kameez. It may also be because these stoles in earthy shades like maroon, green and sand are preferred colors of many Indians.

A jamawar is a special type of shawl hand made by the craftsmen in Kashmir. The jamawar design is a special floral pattern which resembles the mango fruit. Historically, it was made by hand and some shawls took a couple of decades to complete. The task of creating a jamawar shawl further complicated as the designs on these shawls are realized not by embroidery but by the simultaneous weaving with wool shuttles of different colors.

The wool being delicate, it is essential to use the hands instead of machine and that requires enormous patience of the weavers among all the other qualities. Due to the enormous effort put in weaving and the amount of time it requires to be completed, the prices of the real Jamawar shawls are very high in the market since the old times. These shawls were so special that they often made the exclusive royal gifts to the foreign guests. They were also en vogue in many parts of Europe mainly as they held close resemblance to the Paisley shawls. The colors used in one shawls vary from two to fifty
