Himalayan Weavers

On the way back from Dhanaulti, near Suwakholi, is the Himalayan Weavers' shop.  This provides a market for wool from local goats and income for the hill people .. and they use only natural dyes. The scarves and shawls are beautiful and in a range of prices from regular goat wool to fine pashmina.


While waiting for the shop keeper to ring up our purchases, we sat in a warm solarium with herbs and tomato plants.
