Paisley Shawl in Cotton and Silk Blend with Embroidery, "Yellow Paisley Dreams"
Ethereally lightweight and sheer, this daffodil-yellow paisley shawl from Uma Tripathi features chikankari, or hand embroidery of a style originating in Lucknow. In chikankari, the fabric is first block-printed with the desired pattern, and then the design is embroidered by hand over the printed areas. The artisan further adorns the cotton and silk blend wrap with kamadani, in which flat gold or silver metallic wire is used to create small dots or floral motifs. The ends of the shawl are crocheted by hand.

This shawl is not only has a gorgeous, but the design in general is lovely. I love the embroidered edges, and the embroidered ferns on the shawl. It is soft and not too heavy and falls nicely.It is exactly what I had been looking for an unable to find. Suitable for Western wear or as a dupatta with Indian clothes. Thanks so much.
