About
A thick, hand-woven wool blanket made by the Bhotia community of Munsiyari, spun and woven entirely from local sheep wool on a traditional loom.
Did you know? A single Thulma blanket can take weeks to spin and weave by hand, and is prized for keeping out the extreme cold of high-altitude Himalayan winters without any synthetic insulation.
