This traditional shawl has been worn for centuries in the mountains on the Indo-Tibetan border and in the foothills of the Himalayas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis design is inspired by the Traditional Kullu Jamawar Weave design. It is plain, simple, but universally liked and used by both Men and Women. Extra care has been taken in the production to ensure a soft feel owing to its smooth texture. It will give a cozy and warm feeling in cold winters. The full size of the shawl makes it easy to drape and team it up with just about anything, right from wrapping yourself during the morning cup of tea to an evening out enjoying live music in the outdoors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMATERIAL OF THE SHAWL: HIMALAYAN SHEEP WOOL\u003cbr\u003e\nThis wool comes from a special variety of sheep that is known for its warm fleece. The wools of sheep are cleaned and spun into the local mills to make the soft fiber. The local wool is procured from the sheep of the Himalayan valley in India. During the summer season, the sheep migrate to the higher hills with the shepherds. With the advent of winter, they are brought back to their villages located in the valley. During the autumn and spring seasons, they shear the sheep for wool. \u003cbr\u003e\nMoreover, it can be dyed quite easily and effectively, and for that reason, the wool is tinted in bright colors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWEAVING OF THE HIMALAYAN SHAWL:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis shawl is made by using a traditional loom. The weaving technique is a tilt process of weaving. In this procedure, the woolen shawls are manually made by winding, drafting, denting, pulling, and adjusting as per the requirement. The geometric decoration of the border of the shawl is woven as a basketweave with the help of a slit-tapestry or dovetailing technique. The artisans use the color graph as the reference for the design that they will weave manually. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE DESIGN AND PATTERNS OF THE SHAWL: TRADITIONAL DARI PATTI\u003cbr\u003e\nDari Patti Shawl is a Type of Weaving Design on Kullu Shawls. There are strips of woven Embroidery used in the shawl with traditional designs like patterns, floral, or Geometric. The Weaving Work on these Pattis (Strips) is very fine, and it took a lot of time to finalize this design on the shawl. That is the reason that this designed shawl or stoles are a little bit Costly. It has been said that the mystic-spiritual motifs of Buddhists hugely influenced the geometric patterns of the Himalayan shawls.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS :\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSIZE :\u003cbr\u003e\n40 x 80 Inches\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nColor: \u003cbr\u003e\nForest Green\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPATTERN :\u003cbr\u003e\nEmbroidered\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry  Of Origin:\u003cbr\u003e\nIndia\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand:\u003cbr\u003e\nNamasteYOGAstore \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCare Instructions: \u003cbr\u003e\nDry cleaning is recommended.

To avoid any such forged attempt, you need to know where and how to buy the original Himalayan Shawls.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile shopping for it, keep in mind the following tips:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n* The shawls that are handmade in the Himalayan valley are expensive because it takes days to complete the process. So, if you get any product under a huge discount or cheap price, don't fall for it. It may be a fake product.\u003cbr\u003e\n* The best way to identify the original product is the Geographical Indicator (GI) mark that has been issued by the Government. Though not all manufacturers have obtained it, this mark is still the best way to find out the original shawls made in the Himalayan Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\n* You need to check the design of the shawl closely. If you find out that the reverse side of the shawls looks the same, then the shawl may be handcrafted and genuine.\u003cbr\u003e\n* The handcrafted shawls seem coarse when you touch them to retain the warmth.\u003cbr\u003e\n* A single color body of the shawl has a border with colorful geometric designs. The designs are handcrafted by the weavers, which are almost impossible to replicate by machine. \u003cbr\u003e\n* The colors used to dye the shawls are organic and non-toxic to skin, whereas acrylic colors are used for machine-made shawls.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"NamasteYOGAstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45623779950765,"sku":null,"price":139.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/0030\/0205\/files\/il_fullxfull.3666616980_oltj.jpg?v=1768704233","url":"https:\/\/omtarastore.com\/products\/forest-green-handwoven-pure-himalayan-sheep-wool-meditation-shawl-himalayan-prayer-blanket-himalayan-wool-kullu-shawl-handmade-indian-shawl","provider":"OmTARAstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
