Organic indigo dyeing is an intricate method that requires a great deal of skill. Similar to a sourdough process, an indigo vat goes through fermentation under 5-10 days of supervision and intermittent, deliberate stirring before any actual dyeing takes place. As a master of the craft, Axel teaches this process around the world. He has taught several workshops on it at the Avani Cooperative in the Himalayas. This is partly why Axel has chosen to make these unique patterns on Avani hand-woven linen. This garment represents a convergence of The Himalayas, Norway and Sweden all in one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the pattern \u0026quot;Himalayan Mountains\u0026quot;, the mountains fade into infinity. Each linen shawl has one of three different patterns, each different in its own way. As a limited-edition garment, we have numbered these shawls from 1 to 21. Each pattern is available in 7 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the perfect gift to yourself or for someone you love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% West Bengali linen\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 X 195 cm\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHem:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 cm fringe\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrigins\u003c\/b\u003e:\u0026nbsp;The garment is hand-spun, hand-woven, and naturally dyed at the Avani Cooperative in Uttarakhand, Himalayas.\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduction Time:\u003c\/b\u003e 55 days (linen processing - 50 days; hand spinning - 2 days; natural dyeing - 1 day; weaving, finishing, fringe cutting, labelling - 2 days)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability\u003c\/strong\u003e: The shawl is made entirely by hand from nature\u0026#39;s vibrant materials and colours. Weaving and spinning by hand leads to the threads being wonderfully irregular, and the natural dyeing allows the colour to vary. Care for your new garment tenderly, and you will have a friend for life. Begin by hanging it out to air. When necessary, wash gently by hand in cold water and mild soap, then hang dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/blogs\/vara-vanner\/axel-becker-den-norska-indigomastaren\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAxel Becker here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr \/\u003e\nRead more about the \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/blogs\/vara-vanner\/avani-i-himalaya\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAvani Cooperative here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\nRead more about \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/blogs\/world-of-spirit\/farger-infargning\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ematerials and natural dyeing here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"SPIRIT OF THREADS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34622785781895,"sku":"15-50","price":290.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3813\/0055\/products\/2.15-50.719.jpg?v=1707911833","url":"https:\/\/spiritofthreads.com\/en-de\/products\/himalayan-mountains-indigo-dyed-linen-shawl","provider":"SPIRIT OF THREADS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
