Lahauli Knitted Scoks & Gloves received GI Certification on 14th September 2021
Extra thick, warm woolen socks with beautiful, unique motifs. These socks are knit by the shepherding community of Lahaul with their own wool which they handspin on the wooden takhli.Knitted intuitively, each pair is individual in design and color.
Handspun, handwoven using indigenous pastoral wool. Kulwi Whims is a social enterprise empowering women and reviving traditional crafts.
The Lahauli socks and gloves are made from indigenous wool sheared from local sheep. A Lahauli pair of socks is knit in parts, using four double pointed needles. First the cuff is knit, second the leg, and at last the heel.
The upper part of the foot is knit using eight colors into a traditional eye-catching pattern, locally called ‘dashi’, which comprises patterns composed by seven or eight types of motifs. Each ‘dashi’ is laid out in four or five rows in different colours.
Once the front portion with ‘dashi’ is ready, the sole is built and the two are joined together up till the tip of the toe. The sock is then carefully sealed with ties or knots running inwards.
