Our cluster

Twenty-two weavers, two villages

Kalangan is the work of twenty-two weavers across two villages in the Mandakini valley — Ukhimath and Guptkashi. They are weavers, spinners, dyers, finishers; some are all four. Every piece in our shop carries their name.

Master weaver of the season

Meena Devi, of Ukhimath

“When the snow comes I weave by the courtyard window. The light is the same colour as the wool, and my hands stop being cold by the third row.”
