Once only touched by the bear hands of artisans, Kashmiri crewel was worst hit in the 2000's when wealthy traders began to produce crewel through machines. Even though machine were banned by the government, but traders managed doing so illegally. This cast a negative affect on the entire industry as machine items were less durable, cheap and easily available like any other curtains and upholstery, And the people who had to worst bear the brunt of machines and power loom were the artisan community. Artisans who worked with hands lost jobs, were considered inefficient, and faced indifference from government, customers and the profit centric middlemen alike. Customers from foreign countries used to throng our shops, but now just a few patrons of handmade visit or buy.
