NOTE:
Certain variations in the colour and texture of the product are due to the hand processes – a unique feature of the garments and not a defect.
Colour bleeding is normal in naturally dyed garments in the initial washes after which the colours stabilise. Natural dyes fade naturally as a part of the ageing of the garment.
The Hemp cardigan is a garment inspired by the traditional weft-pile Tibetan sheep- wool blankets, known as Chutka in Uttarakhand, made by the Bhotiyas of the Himalayas.
This overcoat also consists of cotton and wool, spun on Ambar charkha; the yarn has been hand dyed with Indigo, and hand knitted.
Hemp or Bhaang grows as a wild undergrowth in Almora and Chamoli regions. The villagers in these regions extract fibre from the plant stems.The stem of the plant is retted in the water of rivers; when it swells, the stalk is beaten on boulders until the fibre comes out. This fibre has a unique lustre to it and the yarn lends an uneven brown texture to the products.
