Gouri Wool Shawl

The Gouri Wool Shawl is hand woven in Kashmir, India, from 100% Merino Wool. Skilled craftspeople use traditional Jacquard Looms to create this special weave called Kanni.

This is a medium weight wool shawl with a warm and smooth touch. The creamy white base color and jeweltone accent colors of this shawl are breathtaking. We provided a picture of the back side of the shawl to show the knots from the handmade process handed down for generations.

We hand picked each one of these shawls from the weaver’s guild in India. This ensures exceptional quality, fair wages and ethical work conditions. Your purchase brings you a unique piece of India’s timeless textile weaves and you are helping the weavers who keep this tradition alive.
