Kashmiri men are the weavers of the complex, fine worsted yarn. Using hand looms they carefully create the lightweight shawls and scarves 47. There are two types of weave, \'plain\' weave and the \'bird\'s eye\' weave (which is also referred to as \'chashme bulbul\' or \'eye of the bulbul\'), whereby crossing the woollen strands creates an interconnected pattern of small diamonds within the weave of the cloth. A shahtoosh shawl in the \'bird\'s eye\' weave is generally more expensive than a \'plain\' woven shawl. As a finishing touch, the skilled weaver traditionally embroiders his initials in a corner of the shawl.
