Talim

Glossary

An instructional code that translates the designs to be woven in Kani shawls. The code is written on a sheet of graph paper, with the design and colours filled in. It is then translated by the talim-guru into a code which is distributed to the weavers, with the master weaver dictating the coded design. This enables weavers to incorporate the appropriate colours and weave the designs onto the shawl.
