You are holding an extra large meditation shawl in orange, 120 by 240 centimetres, that covers both your shoulders and your knees in one piece. The weave is 70 per cent acrylic and 30 per cent cotton, so it feels soft, holds warmth well, and still breathes thanks to the cotton.
How it helps at home
You will find it most useful when you sit in one place for a long time: with a book, during a quiet moment or while meditating. Draped over the shoulders it covers your arms; tucked into your lap it protects the knees; spread on the floor it insulates the seat from a cool surface. The orange colour brings a warm, cheerful mood and looks good both in daylight and under a lamp.
Why this size matters
The larger meditation shawls offer a full wrap thanks to their generous width: they do not slip away half-way, and they do not need constant adjusting. Choose this size if you are a tall person or you want it as a quasi-blanket. Two people can also share it while sitting close together.
Cleaning and care
Wash by hand, or on a gentle machine programme at up to 30 degrees, with a mild detergent. We do not recommend a spin cycle. Dry it flat on a towel, so it keeps its shape. Store it folded, away from direct sunlight, so the orange colour stays vivid for years.
Where it comes from
The shawl is made in Nepal and arrives at us in a paper bag. The 290 gram weight and the stated size apply to one piece. As this is hand-woven, slight differences in pattern and small pastel patches can occur between pieces.
What to consider when ordering
The shawl is not water-proof or wind-proof, so we recommend indoor or covered outdoor use. Watch it around very young children: the long fabric invites play. If you share your home with a small pet, they will probably find it quickly too, as the texture is a favourite among cats and dogs.
