In spite of modern textile miles, the hand-woven cotton clothes in Pakistan are still every popular for daily wear. These are either block printed or beautifully embroidered. In the northern areas, even woolen cloth is hand-woven.
          Sind and Multan are famous for beautiful Khais and Lunghis. Brocade is the finest handloom product.
          Kimkhwab is produced by interweaving silk and gold or silver thread in a rich variety of colour and floral designs. Lahore, Khairpur and Karachi are famous for excellent brocades and silk saries.
