Chorten Kora Shawl — Natural

Named for Chorten Kora, the great white stupa at Trashiyangtse in eastern Bhutan, which pilgrims circle on foot. Woven in undyed highland fleece, wide enough to wear as a wrap or fold as a scarf.

Woven by hand, so no two pieces are identical. Small variations in colour, width and weave are the evidence of the loom, not a fault.

Priced by loom-days

We price our work by loom-days — the number of days a piece spends on the loom. It is the only measure that reflects what a handwoven textile actually costs to make.

Care

Dry clean, or hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild wool detergent. Spin for no longer than five minutes, reshape while damp, and dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight.
