Borders
are traditional colored stripes woven on tiny looms by local weavers.
It is a long lace having an appropriate width depending upon the
pattern. Almost all patterns of shawls
can be applied on the borders.
Initially borders were used for caps only, but owing to its brilliant
colors, borders are now being used in the decoration of other
handlooms and handicraft products, for instance jackets, ladies
suits, shawls, caps, etc.
Raw Material
Earlier pure wool colored in various colors was used for the border
but as pure wool's colors fade fast, acrylic yarn was started
being used.
