The Panchachuli women weavers use sheep and merino wool in addition to pashmina and silk. They are fine imported white lamb’s wool, with dyes organically extracted from local plants. These wools are also spun, woven and knitted by hand.

Kasardevi

The Kasardevi collection is named after the Kasaredevi Temple, which is one of the most important temples in the region of the women weavers. This collection is comprised of fine Lambswool, which is millspun and purchased on hanks for dyeing with vegetable dyes. These dyes are created from the roots, flowers, bark and leaves of indigenous plants that are collected, then dried and stored. The dyed yarn is then handwoven. All the colors in the natural dye palette are local except for indigo, which comes from South India. There will always be a slight variation in the shades as this depends on many factors including climate, rainfall, and other local weather conditions which affect the colors extracted from the plants. Color fastness is guaranteed. Shawls, stoles, scarves and throws are available in this collection.
