HIMALAYAN " YOGI " SHEEP WOOL MEDITATION SHAWL/WRAP






MATERIAL OF THE SHAWL: HIMALAYAN SHEEP WOOL
Renowned for its unparalleled softness and warmth, our Shawl is made from the finest and highest-quality Himalayan sheep wool. It's incredibly lightweight yet provides exceptional insulation against the chill.

This wool comes from a special variety of sheep that is known for its warm fleece. The wool of sheep is cleaned and spun into local mills to produce the soft fiber. Moreover, it can be dyed quite easily and effectively, and for that reason, the wool is tinted in bright colors.

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.


WEAVING OF THE HIMALAYAN SHAWL:
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 a basketweave with the help of a slit-tapestry or dovetailing technique.
The artisans use the color graph as a reference for the design that they will weave manually.

THE DESIGN AND PATTERNS OF THE SHAWL:
It has been said that the geographic patterns of the Himalayan shawls are hugely influenced by the mystic-spiritual motifs of Buddhists The weavers get the inspirations for the motifs of the shawls from the surroundings, life's philosophy, traditions, and religion. Many of the symbols of the Himalayan shawls represent Buddhist religion and belief.
