The strength of calm colours
Deep blue and violet have long been seen as colours of quiet and deep thought. This textile – around 115 × 245 cm – is extra large, giving a full protective wrap while seated. The 245 cm length is enough for you to spread it along the floor and fold it back over the shoulders. Use it as a seated or lying meditation companion, or simply as a blanket.
Why does it support inward focus?
Meditating is not easy in a noisy home. A textile that surrounds the body – even symbolically – signals that an inner time begins here. The blue and violet tones calm the visual system. This is added support for you to gently bring wandering attention back to your chosen focus.
Where else you can use it
After morning yoga or pilates as a resting cover, on cool autumn or winter evenings as a sofa throw, for reading or journaling as a shawl around the shoulders, in a chilly yoga studio instead of a jacket. The size is enough to work as a blanket for an average adult. A good companion at quiet retreats or in churches.
Material and care
The textile is 70% acrylic and 30% cotton – pleasantly warm yet breathable. The cotton keeps the touch fresh, the acrylic preserves shape and colour. Wash in cool water at up to 30°C on a gentle programme. Do not wring it hard – dry it flat, spread out, so it does not stretch and the colours stay deep.
What to expect from the piece
Because the textile is hand-finished, small pattern variations or tiny weaving irregularities are normal – these are signs of handmade work, not flaws. The shades come alive in real light, so there may be a small difference between the photos and the piece you receive. You receive a large, long-lasting piece.
