This beautifully textured fabric is handwoven by skilled artisans in a small workshop in Lubhu, Nepal.
It is made using organic cotton yarn for the warp and hand-spun Himalayan nettle yarn for the weft, creating a textile that is soft yet earthy, with a quiet depth and natural character.
The combination of cotton and nettle offers both comfort and strength, making this fabric well suited for tailored garments as well as interior and home décor use.
Its balanced texture allows it to move easily between clothing and living spaces.
