What Hunza Weaving Center is known for

Hunza Weaving Center in Karimabad traces its weaving practice to 1994 and works with individual artisans producing handwoven wool shawls, patti-style textiles, and rugs on traditional looms. Each piece is made to order through slow production, with the center describing its output as woven to be kept for years rather than mass-produced.
