White Handspun Pure Cotton Shawl/Stole, Handwoven on Wooden Looms in South India

£26.00

Our white cotton stoles are made by The Loknath Weavers Industrial Co-operative Society Ltd, a handloom co-operative founded in 1955. The society became a model for many other weavers’ co-operatives across India, and today it continues to support skilled spinners, weavers and dyers and their families.

Each stole begins with cotton that is spun by hand into yarn. Hand spinning gives the thread a natural, slightly uneven character, which creates the soft texture and gentle irregularities you’ll see in the finished cloth, something machine-spun yarn simply can’t reproduce.

The yarn is then woven on traditional wooden handlooms, some of which have been in use for generations. Working each thread by hand and foot, the weavers create a cloth that is light, breathable and beautifully soft.

At Naturally Crafted, our shawls and stoles are woven on handlooms by artisans whose techniques have been passed down through generations. As each stole is handmade, every piece is individual, with small variations that reflect the work of the spinner and weaver.
