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

Product Details

Classic Grey. Serious Himalayan Warmth.

This Grey Handspun Pure Wool Men’s Shawl, also known traditionally as Lohi, Loi, Loe, Dushala, or Chadar, is a timeless winter essential from the Kullu handloom tradition of Himachal Pradesh.

The shawl is woven using handspun pure wool yarn, which is noticeably thicker and heavier than machine-spun yarn. This gives the fabric a dense, insulating structure that holds warmth exceptionally well. The shawl feels substantial in hand—ideal for hard winters, cold nights, snowfall regions, and mountain climates.

The grey color offers a balanced, understated look—neither too light nor too dark—making it extremely versatile. It pairs well with traditional attire, sweaters, jackets, and winter layers, and is equally suitable for daily wear, travel, or spiritual use.

Because of its generous size and weight, many people also use this shawl as a meditation shawl or prayer shawl, where warmth, grounding feel, and natural fibers enhance comfort during long sitting sessions.
