Generally done in a panel along the sides, many kinds of embroidery are worked on wool shawls. Motifs, usually abstract designs or stylized paisleys and flowers are worked in one or two, occasionally three colors. Embroidery is done either in broad panels or either side of the breadth or covering the entire surface of a Stole. Phulkari, which means flower work and Bandhini stoles having vibrant colors are extremely popular among buyers.

Mainly those states or areas where winter stayed for a longer time produced the woolens. The rest, which experienced cold for lesser period of time, procured their woolens from the former. That is what made the Kashmir weavers the king of shawls and other woolen weaving. They have throughout the ages made India the best producers of various varieties of shawls. Apart from Kashmir, Mandi, Kulu and Chamba of HimachalPradesh are also great Stoles producing areas.
