Pure Himalayan Sheep Wool Heritage Knit
A Tapestry of the Peaks. The Kangra Valley Pullover is the ultimate expression of Himachali knitting heritage. This heavy-duty masterpiece features a striking dual-tone design, balancing a clean, oatmeal-white body with intricate ochre-gold geometric patterns.
Hand-knitted with a classic Raglan sleeve construction, it offers a seamless, relaxed fit through the shoulders, allowing for easy movement and effortless layering. The traditional folk-inspired motifs across the chest, shoulders, and hem aren't just decorative—they represent the storied history of mountain weaving, making this a wearable piece of art.

FIBER STORY: LOCAL HIMACHALI WOOL
This pullover is made from 100% raw wool sourced from the grazing flocks of the Kangra and Kullu valleys.
- Unprocessed Beauty: We keep our wool as close to nature as possible, retaining the natural oils that make it water-repellent.
- Artisanal Support: Each knit is a collaboration with local Himachali artisans, ensuring the survival of traditional hand-knitting techniques.
- Earth-First: Our wool is biodegradable, carbon-neutral, and sourced with zero-mile transportation from the shepherd to the needle.
WASHING & CARE (The TLC Guide)
A heritage piece like this is built to last a lifetime if handled with Tender Loving Care:
- The Fresh Air Refresh: Because raw wool is naturally antibacterial, simply hanging your pullover in a cool, breezy spot for a few hours will naturally deodorize it.
- Hand Wash Only: When a deep clean is necessary, use cold water and a drop of mild olive oil soap or wool wash. Do not scrub.
- Zero Wringing: Gently press the water out by rolling it in a dry towel.
- Dry Flat: Always dry flat on a clean surface to preserve the structural integrity of the raglan seams and the intricate pattern.
