Description

The Hand Knitted Coasters Set of 4 and 6 in Natural Himalayan Fiber is a rustic and practical accessory for any table setting. Crafted using traditional techniques, these coasters are hand-knit from pure wool sourced directly from sheepherders in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. The wool is obtained ethically and sustainably, as the sheep are raised by local herders who prioritize their well-being as part of their livelihood. The result is a cruelty-free material that supports both environmental and community-focused initiatives.

Each coaster is constructed through a meticulous process, beginning with the raw wool, which is cleaned, hand-spun into yarn, and then woven by women artisans in Rishikesh. These artisans are part of Gramotthan Sanstha, an organization working to support women’s economic empowerment by offering sustainable, home-based livelihoods.

The coasters feature a round, spiral-knit design, which provides a dense yet flexible surface. This hand-knitted texture ensures that cups, mugs, and small pots remain stable while also protecting table surfaces from heat and moisture. The set includes four uniform pieces, each displaying a distinct natural color in varying tones of grey and brown, reflective of the sheep’s wool in its untreated state.
