Hand knitted in pure sheep wool these natural hand dyed scullers will not only snuggle you into the comfort of your warmth but burn all those around you. Handmade by the women folk of rural Ladakh for their survival, each piece is eco friendly and carbon neutral as virtually no external energy or machines are used. Heads up for a great attitude and a beautiful heart.
The women of Ladakh have been dexterous with their knitting skills down generations. From tending to their herd of sheep in the upper valley of the Himalayan region of Ladakh, to cuddling into the candle lit warmth of their tiny homes, for most of the year they continue to sustain their living by spinning balls of pure wool, natural hand dying and hand knitting amazingly simple and baby soft headgear, just the way grandma once did. It is quite inconceivable to imagine what the artisan puts in, just to knit one pair, but what you certainly will get, is the warmth of her loving heart. Living well and living full is great, but supporting the livelihoods of those who unknowingly sustain our ecological balance, is awesome.
