Hand-woven Himalayan wool shawls and Pahadi topis

What you’ll find

What Kausani Shawl is known for

Kausani Shawl weaves Himalayan wool into shawls, stoles and Pahadi topis on handlooms, using naturally derived dyes rather than mill-processed color. The workshop's pieces are sold from its own counters across the Kumaon towns of Kausani, Kathgodam and Haldwani.
