Shawl Silk/Pashmina Natural Dyed

Sale price1.450,00 kr

A unique shawl natural-dyed with plants, vegetables, minerals and fungi.
This soft, hand-woven, silk and pashmina shawl is first made by our friends in the Himalayas and then specially dyed Annika and Petra in Stockholm.
They has worked with the natural-dying technique for over 20 years. Plants, vegetables, minerals and fungi are beaten, pressed, and folded directly into the fabric. The result is a unique, one-of-a-kind textile - a wonderful, vibrant, portable firework.
Each shawl is accompanied by a description of all the materials used in its particular plant dying process.

Color: 50 mixed colors on an unbleached base
Art 965 

Material: 50% silk and 50% merino wool from Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalayas.
Size: 60 x 195 cm
Hem: 2 cm fringe

Origins: The yarn is hand-spun, hand-woven and naturally dyed in Himachal Pradesh under the direction of Ritika and Shaurya who run Marichiworld.

Production Time: 60 days (sheep wool - 50 days; silk cocoons, hand spinning - 2 days; natural dyeing - 1 day; weaving, finishing, fringe cutting, labelling - 2 days; plant dying in  Annika’s kitchen – 5 days)

Durability and care: Weaving and spinning by hand leads to the threads being wonderfully irregular – a work of the hand. Gently care for your new silk and wool garment, and you will have a friend for life. Begin by hanging it out to air. When necessary, wash by hand in cold water and mild soap, then hang dry.
