Weaving and spinning by hand leads to the threads being wonderfully irregular, and the natural dyeing allows the colour to vary.

When necessary, wash gently by hand in cold water and mild soap, then hang dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead more about the \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/blogs\/world-of-spirit\/pema-gift\"\u003ePema Project here. \u003c\/a\u003eRead more about the \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/blogs\/vara-vanner\/avani-i-himalaya\"\u003eAvani Cooperative here. \u003c\/a\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/blogs\/world-of-spirit\/farger-infargning\"\u003ematerials and natural dyes here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPIRIT OF THREADS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39640342036615,"sku":"100-45","price":220.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3813\/0055\/products\/100-45-2.jpg?v=1707912183","url":"https:\/\/spiritofthreads.com\/en-de\/products\/pema-west-bengali-merino-wool-shawl-pema-orange","provider":"SPIRIT OF THREADS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
