MATERIAL OF THE SHAWL:
The blanket is woven using two kinds of wool. First is Yak Wool (70%), and the second is the Himalayan sheep wool (30%). The weft thread is handspun yak wool, and the warp thread is Himalayan sheep wool.

YAK WOOL:
The yak has three different coats of wool to sustain it in the severe cold atmosphere of the Himalayas. The down fiber of the yak is considered one of the softest and warmest wool in the world. The artisans create different colored weft yarn to weave exclusive Himalayan shawls from it.

SHEEP WOOL :
This wool comes from a unique variety of sheep that is known for its warm fleece. 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 YAK BLANKET:
This shawl is made by using the traditional pit loom 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 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.

THE DESIGN AND PATTERNS OF THE SHAWL: TRADITIONAL DARI PATTI
Dari Patti Shawl is a type of weaving design in 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 Patti (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.

The weavers get inspiration for the motifs of the shawls from their surroundings, life's philosophy, traditions, and religion. Many of the symbols of the Himalayan shawls represent Buddhist religion and belief. Sometimes, it also depicts local flora and fauna on the border. The bright colors used for the shawl represent the enthusiasm of the life of the people of the valley.
