Handwoven Thai Shawls & Wraps

Wider cloth to wrap and drape — soft indigo grounds and Thai mudmee ikat patterns, each shawl the width the loom allows and the length the weaver chose. A handwoven shawl or wrap carries more of the maker's story than a scarf: more thread tied and dyed, more passes through the vat, more hours at the loom. It falls beautifully around the shoulders and only softens with age.

Before you choose

Honest notes on natural dye, handwork and care — from people who know each maker.

What is mudmee (ikat), and how is it made?

Mudmee is the Thai ikat technique: the weaver ties and dyes the threads in a pattern before weaving, so the design emerges from the dyed yarn itself. The soft, slightly blurred edges of a mudmee motif are the hallmark of true hand-tied ikat — impossible to fake with a print.

How do I care for a naturally-dyed handwoven wrap?

Hand-wash cool with a gentle soap, no bleach, and dry flat or draped in the shade. Wash naturally-dyed pieces separately, especially at first. A shawl treated this way holds its colour and drape for many years.

Are shawls made to order, and how long is the lead time?

Most are woven or dyed once you reserve them, by a single artisan, so allow roughly three to four weeks before it ships. Because each wrap is made individually, small variations in width, length and tone are natural and expected.
