The Deputy Minister of Handicrafts of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of Yazd Province also stated in this regard: Currently, cashmere weaving in Yazd province is done by machine and only its design is done manually, so it is gradually cashmere weaving from The Jirga of Handicrafts is coming out.
Mohammad Beheshtinejad stated: Weaving cashmere is a difficult task and these days fewer young people are interested in learning it.

While in cashmere weaving machine, about 20 to 30 meters of weaving is done at the same time.
