This traditional shawl has been worn for centuries in the mountains on the Indo-Tibetan border and in the foothills of the Himalayas.

This shawl is perfect for meditating, lying on, as a cover-up, or wrapping up to keep warm. Made of 100% soft wool that is dyed in Monk's burgundy red.

MATERIAL OF THE SHAWL:
This wool the Shawl comes from a special variety of sheep that is known for its warm fleece. 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 by 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. The wools of sheep are cleaned and spun in the local mills to make the soft fiber. Moreover, it can be dyed quite easily and effectively and for that reason, the wool is tinted in bright colors.
WEAVING OF THE HIMALAYAN SHAWL:
This shawl is made by using a traditional loom. The weaving process is tilt 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 shawl border is woven as the 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.
