Tai Lue Hand-Spun Cotton Shawl

Stay warm and cosy with these soft, handwoven shawls perfect for anyone who appreciates handmade and sustainable textiles from Laos!

These shawls are made from hand-spun, hand-woven and naturally dyed cotton by Tai Lue weavers in Hongsa District, Xayaboury Province. The colours listed are for both the warp and weft thread; white-white is a consistent coloured textile, whereas black-white has black warp threads with white woven through it, creating a subtle pattern.

Producing cotton thread is a labour-intensive process, involving a variety of tools to clean, spin, and treat the yarn, before being set up on a loom and woven.
