Green and terracotta tones that bring the closeness of nature
This meditation pashmina shawl has a woven pattern, with the palette playing in soft green and terracotta tones that evoke the earthy colours of nature. The size is one hundred and ninety centimetres long and seventy centimetres wide, comfortable both for draping over the shoulders and for covering the full upper body. You receive a piece whose pattern, like an autumn forest, changes in gentle waves.
Why it is a fine piece for a longer practice
Earth tones radiate calm and do not divert attention during meditation. You settle into stillness easily, and a gentle message reaches your hands and shoulders that it is time to turn inward. The length of the shawl allows you to drape it down to your knees if you sit cross-legged on a cushion, so your body temperature stays even.
What else you can use it for
Beyond meditation it serves well for an evening read, breath practice, or the closing rest of a yoga session. Many people drape it over themselves on the sofa while leafing through a book, because the size is enough to cover both the shoulders and the knees. While travelling it also brings comfort on longer journeys, and although it is not heavy, it holds warmth well. If you are drawn to natural colours, you will feel at home beside it.
Material and care
The shawl is woven from acrylic yarn, which gives it light weight and a lasting shape. Hand wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and do not rub strongly. Spinning is not recommended; press the water out gently instead. Dry on a flat surface away from direct sunlight, so the vividness of the earth tones is preserved. Iron on a low setting, on the reverse side.
Origin and handcrafted character
The piece is woven in Nepal, where textile making has a long history. It arrives in a plastic bag, which protects it during transport. Due to the handcrafted nature, no two shawls are exactly the same: the pattern and the colours can vary in gentle shades, and you receive a piece that cannot be found exactly anywhere else.
