Jaipur – textiles

We stopped at a textile place where we saw rugs being made by hand. They make rugs from cashmere, camel hair and silk. After the demonstration by the looms we were escorted into a show room with soft cushy stools, served fritters, grilled cheese sandwich snacks and rum and coke. The rugs were rolled out, some of each kind in many different sizes and when the floor was full we were invited to take off our shoes and see how they felt. Two people in my group bought rugs (not me!) and we wandered downstairs for more browsing of scarves, bed covers, pillow covers and clothes.
