Since the mid-1990s, traditionally used felttechniques to produce floor coverings (Radi) and blankets (Pakhi) were transferred to the production andexport <strong>of</strong> fashion wear and accessories. 79 Annually, Nepal imports about 4,000 MT <strong>of</strong> wool valued at aboutUS$11 million from New Zealand, China, and Australia. 80 About 1,200 to 1,500 MT <strong>of</strong> wool is used in theproduction <strong>of</strong> knitted and felt products and the remainder for carpet weaving.
