Nepali Chevron Blanket Shawl

These gorgeous shawls are super popular during the cool winter months in Nepal, and it is easy to see why! The cotton blend is super soft, with no itchiness even on sensistive skin, and is really warm and windproof too. The shawls come in an endless array of beautiful designs, we’ve chosen some lovely traditional weaves that are timeless and stylish. Big enough to use as a blanket or shawl, but also comfortable to wear bunched around your neck as a super warm and snuggly scarf. We keep one on the sofa to use as a blanket, and I’ve always got one in the car too for when its a bit chillier than I expected on those blustery spring and autumn days!

This shawl features a traditional Nepali Chevron design in several different beautiful colourways. This type of fabric pattern is very common in Nepal and is seen in a wide variety of textiles. The blanket shawl is reversible so you don’t need to worry about the wrong side showing, as there are only right sides. The shawl can be worn in a variety of ways to suit your style and outfit. I’ve worn mine as a scarf, a shawl, a blanket and even a headscarf in the desert!

Please note that the colour descriptions are brief and do not describe every colour on the shawls. Exact colour and pattern position may differ slightly from the picture.

You may see similar items to these being marketed as “Yak Wool” blankets or shawls. Please be aware that this is a nickname for the product, rather than a description. They are NOT made of yak wool, as it is extremely expensive, very rough and not at all pleasant to wear! We are honest with our customers because we believe that you deserve to know the truth about what you are buying.

Please note that the exact colour and pattern of the blanket shawl may differ slightly from that pictured, this is due to all items being handmade from handwoven fabrics. This is not a fault and is part of the unique charm of the product.
