How you wrap yourself in a meditation shawl
You receive a large 200×80 cm shawl, which you can comfortably wrap around yourself when you sit down to meditate or take a long rest after yoga. The shawl is violet (deep, wine-toned purple), evoking depth in meditation, silence and the turn inward. The fabric is a blend of 70% acrylic and 30% cotton — this gives the soft, gentle touch and pleasant warmth. As you drape it over your shoulders, you feel it embracing your body, and your breath gradually deepens.
Why this size and material
The 200×80 cm size is just right to cover an adult fully, both seated and lying down. If you sit cross-legged, the shawl reaches your knees and protects you from cool air rising up from the floor. The acrylic-cotton blend is well chosen: the cotton is skin-friendly and the natural fibre breathes, while the acrylic makes the shawl light and more durable. You can machine-wash it, and it will not deform quickly like pure wool versions.
What Nepalese hand work means
The shawl is woven in Nepal, where textile making is a part of everyday life. Each piece takes time and attention, and the touch of the hand is visible on every shawl — small variations in density or in the edge are entirely natural. So you do not receive two identical shawls, but unique pieces that still offer the same warm and calm feeling. The violet tone pairs well with wood furniture, with a natural cotton rug, and it also fits into a bright room.
How to use it in everyday life
Many people ask whether it is only for meditation — not at all. You drape it over the armchair when you sit down for evening reading, take it to the garden for morning tea, or wrap up in it on the sofa during a film. For the final yoga rest (savasana) it is ideal, as the body cools at that moment and this shawl keeps you exactly as warm as needed. It is also practical for travelling: folded it does not take much space in a bag, and on the train or plane it serves as a blanket replacement.
Care and long-lasting use
The shawl is machine washable on a gentle programme at 30 degrees with similar colours. Use low spin and avoid the tumble dryer — laid flat to dry it keeps its shape. Ironing is not necessary, but if needed, use low heat and iron it inside out. Due to the hand work, small loose threads may appear after the first uses — do not pull them, but trim them gently with scissors. This way the shawl will keep its familiar form for years and remain a companion for you for a long time.
