Cream Handspun Pure Wool Men’s Shawl (Lohi) | Kullu Handloom Oversized Dushala

Cream Handspun Pure Wool Men’s Shawl (Lohi) | Kullu Handloom Oversized Dushala

Natural Cream Warmth from the Himalayas

This Cream Handspun Pure Wool Men’s Shawl—traditionally known as Lohi, Loi, Loe, Dushala, or Chadar—is a timeless Himalayan winter essential. Handloom woven by skilled weavers in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, this shawl uses handspun pure wool yarn, giving it a thick, heavy, and deeply insulating character.

The cream (natural) color reflects the raw beauty of wool in its most classic form. Subtle, warm, and elegant, this shade pairs effortlessly with traditional attire, winter jackets, and neutral layers. It is especially preferred for meditation, prayer, and spiritual use, where calm tones and natural fibers are valued.

Because the yarn is handspun, the thread remains coarser and stronger than mill-spun wool, resulting in a shawl that feels substantial, grounding, and exceptionally warm—ideal for hard winters, cold evenings, and snowy regions.
