Combed Changthangi goat fleece is hand-spun on the yinder wooden wheel and woven on horizontal looms using smooth boxwood tujis bobbins rather than a single fly-shuttle, interlocking dozens of colour zones across a single pick. 1
A master naqqash drafts the botanical paisley (buta) design and translates every row into talim cryptographic script, read aloud or propped before the weaver over months of work. 1
