Raw Peace Silk Large Meditation Shawl — Dark Burgundy — Sakshi
This SAKSHI shawl is typically worn by the buddhist monks living in East India, Bhutan and Sikkim. It is characterised by the fact it is woven in compassionate silk or Peace Silk. Also known as Ahimsa silk, it is produced through a method that prioritises the well-being of the silkworm. Unlike traditional silk production, compassionate silk allows the moth to emerge naturally without killing it in the process. This Peace silk shawl is handwoven and noil-free which gives the shawl a smooth texture. Noils are the shortest silk fibres that are typically discarded during the silk spinning process.
Woven from compassionate silk, renowned for its hypoallergenic properties, this shawl offers exceptional softness and breathability. Its generous dimensions and subtle drape create a conducive atmosphere, making it a wonderful companion for meditation and relaxation.

HOW TO WASH YOUR SHAWL SAFELY:
Dissolve a little quantity of mild detergent - like gentle shampoo or woolen soap - with cold or lukewarm water (at 30 °C /86 °F maximum)
Submerge the shawl in the water and move it gently for a few minutes. Do not use fabric softener and rinse the shawl very well by running cool water through it to remove the soap.
You can then take out extra water by applying gentle pressure. NEVER RING, NEVER TWIST.
Remove the excess water by rolling the shawl in a clean towel.
Preferably lay it flat. If not possible, fold it once or twice to prevent the fibres to be stretched too much and hang it on the clothes line in avoiding direct sun or any proximity to heat sources.
Once dry, if available, the shawl can be steamed which will fluff the fibres. Otherwise, it can be ironed with a warm iron.

This item (LAKSHMI LIGHT) exceeded my expectations. I have been searching for a replacement for a much loved cashmere shawl I got in India years ago that was lost. I finally found this shawl and anxiously waited for it to arrive. It is perfect...soft, warm and light. Just absolutely beautiful.
