Re: Shawls !
The title says, nice warm and cosy shawls- winter's special gift :)
Re: Shawls !
:D you want the whole thing??
Winter nights can be very mysterious.
The roads in evenings covered in fog resemble another world (im guessing it means heaven)
The trees on either side of the road stand quietly and watch the seasons come and go.
When, Sometimes a gust of wind knocks on the tree branches, they shed their red leaves.
The leaves fly along with the wind like nomads ( i know sounds weird in egnlish but beautiful in urdu)
The cold weather brings in sad romance.
There is nothing better than wearing a warm shawl seated infront of a fireplace enjoying a hot cup of tea.

Re: Shawls !
Warm shawls in winter are like a must.
Just like frame without a picture looks incomplete.
Just like tea without a sweet cookie doesnt taste as good.
Just like winter goes incomplete without soft, warm shawls.
Speaking of Shawls, kashmiri Shawls are beautiful.
Kashmiri shawls perfect and beautiful patterns made with soft, wooly thread and silk are famous all around the world.
How did these shawls get associated with Kashmir?
Its known that in the 14th century in Kashmir, there was a man named ZainulAbadin who was the first to use wool and silk threads to do kashmiri embroidery on shawls.
Kashmiri embroidery is done with a particular kind of needle

Im at work sitting in the dark waiting the clock tick by.

awwwww thanks adretesia! For taking time to translate this for me , you translated it very nicely.
I dont know why i thought these were kashmiri shawls maybe because of its paisely print? that are very often used in replicas and synthetic woolen shawls!
Are these kashmiri shawls only available in kashmir?

Re: Shawls !

Re: Shawls !
In the 16th century the trend became famous and known among the rich and famous.
In the 10th century (although I duno how the writer went from 14-16 and then jumped down to tenth 
) the warm kashmiri shawls with their beautiful embroidery became famous all over the european countires.
The fashion industry of Europe became a fan of Kashmiri Shawls and it became a staple of their wardrobes.
Wool, Pashmina and Shatosh (??) are the three kinds of threads which are used in Kashmiri embriodery.
In todays evolving fashion style includes these shawls from the Saffron Valley of Kashmir.
A maroon shawl with Orange embroidery shouts cheekiness whereas a brown shalw looks very Sober along with the color gray.
But A black colored Shawl with Kashmiri embroidery looks divine, esp in the winters.
Re: Shawls !
I’m bored too! 
Re: Shawls !
mary you are welcome. I was trying to polish my urdu 
Saray bore baithay hain yahaan 
Re: Shawls !
Omg the way you have described it has made me want to have one veryyyyy badly ! Or did you quote from the book fromKashmiri shawls , from Jamavar to paisely?
I think instead of of investing to much money on nice kaprey shaprey and lots of bling bling embroidured having one of these real authentic shawls is a must have , not the pashmini jamawar shawls that r in these days i have loads of them !
Re: Shawls !
No, I just translated the last part of the article.
Sorry I should have done it in one post instead i did it in 3 posts.
They are very beautiful and so soft, you’ll touch one and just fall in love.
I bought one from Pakistan and gifted it to someone here. It was red and black. She loved it so much.
I should have a pic of it lying around somewhere 
Re: Shawls !
^ omg where in pakistan did you buy it from? and from how much ruppees do they start ? 10 000 i guess? if it is i would buy 2
I bought a burberry shawl for my dad last year with only 10 % cashmere for 169 euro but he lost it it was of a less good quality so got him a new one with 100% cashmere it was a dip in my wallet though! for 249-, but well worth for my dad
Re: Shawls !
