Pine Needle Craft of Chamba - Needle Crafts

Though pine needle basket weaving is a centuries-old craft, it is still as inexpensive, natural and unique. The women of Chamba (and neighbouring villages) are being trained to work with this abundantly available raw material and make innovative products. One of the several organizations that conduct such trainings and workshops is Due North. Though it is essentially an experiential and rural tourism venture, the trainings fall under its craft chapter.
