This shawl is hand-spun and hand-woven in a diamond weave, which Ladakhi people refer to as "mik" - the eye. It is made from soft lambswool from our nomadic team in Changthang in Ladakh. The lambswool is taken once of the young sheep at an age of around 7 months and has a fiber length of 50mm. Therefore it is soft and elastic.
