The Crafting Journey

From Raw Pashmina to Timeless Jamawar Masterpiece

Every BK Handicrafts piece is born from patience, tradition, and devotion. The process, rooted in 700-year-old Kashmiri techniques, is treated as Ibadat — a form of worship — by our master artisans under the guidance of Padma Shri Haji Ghulam Rasool Khan.

Step-by-Step Craftsmanship

How We Create Authentic Jamawar & Pashmina

1. Material Selection

Finest Changthangi goat Pashmina and premium Cashmere wool are hand-selected for purity, fineness (12–15 microns), and ethical sourcing.

2. Designing & Talim

Naqashand (designer) creates intricate patterns. These are coded into Talim — the traditional weaving script — that guides every weaver.

3. Kani / Sozni Weaving

Artisans weave using Tilli (bobbins) for Kani or perform millions of needle stitches for Sozni. A single masterpiece can take 2–7 years.
