Tinted Hand-woven Merino Shawl – Grey Fog

Tightly woven with a wonderful lustre that only hand-weaving can achieve. A shawl or cape to wear year-round.
Our skilled friends at Aranya have spun, carded, woven and dyed this shawl with leaves, flowers and other materials found around their fine production facilities in Munnar, Kerala. All work is done by hand.
Slow Fashion for real.

Origins: The garment is hand-spun, hand-woven and naturally dyed at Aranya in Munnar, Kerala

Durability and care: The shawl is made entirely by hand from nature's vibrant materials and colours. Weaving and spinning by hand leads to the threads being wonderfully irregular, and the natural dyeing allows the colours to vary. Gently care for your new 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.
