It was Zain-Ul-Ahadin in mid 14th century who introduced the art of weaving in the valley and patterns on the woven shawls, the Embroidered Shawl was the creation of a raffogar called Alibaba, it's said Alibaba once noticed the imprint of a fowl's feet left on a white sheet and he proceeded to embroider the out line with colour thread to beauty the effect, thus the shawls with embroider was introduced. Silk thread is used for embroidery. The Craftsman has to twist the raw silk as per the requirement and size of needle hole, such is the intricacy of fabric and embroider that it effect the vision of the craftsman and some embroidered shawls takes 2 to 4 years time to complete.
