Scroll and follow the yarn from the shepherd’s shears to the ball band.
In late spring the Gaddi shepherds shear their flocks on the way up to the high pastures; in Ladakh the pashm is combed from the goats by hand.
The fleece is washed in the stream behind the studio, dried on the roof and carded into soft rolls, sometimes blending three or four flocks.
Spinners in Naggar and Leh spin on the charkha and the takli, then ply two strands together for strength and bounce.
Walnut husk, marigold, madder and indigo in copper pots; then each lot is skeined, swatched and given its ball band.
The studio sits above the orchard on the road to the castle. Come to see the wheels, or write to us about a pattern, a yarn amount or a custom dye lot.
