The lasingphee or quilted cotton material, produced by weavers of Cachar district is extraordinarily warm and soft. This ornamental quilting material has an inner lining of cotton, which is stuffed or inserted at regular intervals between the parallel strips of weft cloth. This quilted cloth is woven on a fly shuttle loom and comes directly off the loom. In Assam bamboo sticks are sometimes used for stuffing instead of cotton. The fabric is rich in design and ornamentation.
