This petrol-blue meditation shawl is a deep, quiet companion that floats between green and blue tones. At 200 × 80 cm it covers your shoulders, falls neatly into your lap, and brings a settled, inward tone to your sitting. The petrol shade suits those who like strong, distinctive colours but do not want to be lost in loud surfaces.
Petrol blue as the colour of inward turning
Petrol is a complex blue-green tone reminiscent of deep sea water and the dusk of a pine forest. When you wrap yourself in this shawl, your eyes rest on a colour that is neither cold nor loud. This serves your evening practice especially well, when you wish to slow down after the noise of the day and turn your attention to breath and heartbeat.
Material: a durable acrylic and breathable cotton blend
The fabric is 70% acrylic and 30% cotton. The cotton brings a natural, breathable feel to your skin, while the acrylic gives durability and colour stability — the petrol tone holds well even after long use and frequent washing. With its 290 gram weight, it makes its presence felt on your shoulders without burdening or tiring your posture.
Which sitting forms it suits
Whether you sit on a floor cushion, a chair or the edge of a bench, both ends of the shawl can hang freely in front, or you can fold it into your lap as a small blanket. On cool winter mornings you may wrap it around your knees as well, and it blocks the draught rising from the floor. It also serves quiet reading, breath work, mantra repetition or shared family meditation — a piece you may pass on across generations.
Country of origin: Nepali weaving, the work of local craftspeople
The shawl is woven in Nepal, where making meditation textiles has a long tradition. Local weavers shape it, and small marks of handwork stay visible in the fabric — the two ends are not always identical to the millimetre, and slight differences appear in the weaving pattern. These are not faults but the living traces of hand-craft.
Cleaning and home storage
For care, gentle hand-washing in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent is recommended. Avoid spinning and wringing, as the fibres can stretch and the shape distort. After washing, lay the shawl flat in a shaded, airy place. Stored in the paper bag, folded in a wardrobe, the shape holds well over time and dust does not gather on it.
