About

A distinctive woollen weave produced by the Dangasia community, known for its raised dotted patterns created by twisting extra threads directly into the weave rather than embroidering them on afterward.

Did you know? Tangaliya's signature dotted pattern is not printed, embroidered, or stitched on — it is built directly into the weave itself by wrapping contrasting threads around the warp as the fabric is woven, a technique unique to this craft.
