MATERIAL: ANGORA WOOL
The prayer shawl is hand-made by using ethical luxury Angora Wool in the Himalayan mountains by a small community of Tribal artisans. These traditional shawls have been worn for centuries in the mountains on the Indo-Tibetan border and in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Angora fiber refers to the downy coat produced by the Angora rabbit. Angora wool comes from the fur of the Angora rabbit. The fiber has a very thin, fine diameter and has a halo-like effect of fur around each strand, which creates a shiny quality on any items made with Angora rabbit. Its rich, soft, and lightweight texture makes it an instantly classic accessory that is a must-have for your wardrobe for all weather.

In this procedure, the woolen shawls are manually made by winding, drafting, denting, pulling, and adjusting as per the requirement.
