A Kashmiri namdha is a felted wool carpet. A hand made felt rug that makes excellent Colourful floor covering, made of wool and cotton, Namda is widely acclaimed to have been originated during 11th century. They are usually of two types, plain and embroidered. Formerly, woolen yarn was used for embroidery, but now acrylic yarn is in use. Namdas and gabbas are embroidered with thread which gives color, beauty and strength to them. Prices of namdas depend upon their quality of wool, pattern (plain or embroidery), size of the product and the neatness in designs. Far less expensive are these colorful floor coverings made from woolen and cotton fiber which has been manually pressed into shape. Prices vary with the percentage of wool- a Namda containing 80% wool being more expensive than one containing 20% wool. Chain stitch embroidery in woolen and cotton thread is worked on these rugs.
