Who Introduced Shawls in Kashmir ? zayn-ul-Abidin Kashmir shawls, also spelled Cashmere, type of woolen shawls woven in Kashmir. According to tradition the founder of the industry was Zayn-ul-Abindin, a 15th century ruler of Kashmir who introduced weavers from Turkistan. The origins of the Kashmir shawls are a matter of historical debate. The earliest known mentions of an established Shawls weaving industry date back to the 11th century AD. The industry was probably older, but some have suggested that Kashmir shawls were famous as far back as in the 3rd century BC, in Ashoka's reign.
