An illustrated article on the handloom textiles of Kashmir, by Rachael G. Mossman. It covers the geography, caste-bound weavers, looms, fibers (pashmina, merino, silk, cotton), dyeing, finishing, felt and embroidery, and the Persian, Chinese and Central Asian influences on design. Nine plates give technical descriptions of shawls, an embroidered panel and a sari. Fiber, yarn count, weave, pattern, stitches and finishing are recorded for each. Figure 1 reconstructs the weave techniques (evensided twill, twill tapestry, basket-weave tapestry with dovetailed wefts, double-faced twill, laid-in extra wefts, and interlocking tapestry), and a bibliography follows.
