Classic stripes and hand-knotted fringe bring a considered finish to this generous Ethiopian cotton wrap, made for an easy turn around the shoulders. The broad fabric rests comfortably across the shoulders, with stripes that change direction as you fold and loop it. Handloomed in Ethiopia from 100% cotton, this 80 × 23 inch unisex scarf offers length for a loose drape or a comfortable neck loop. Machine wash in cold water, hang dry and iron as needed, without using bleach. This striped wrap belongs to Sabahar's Ethiopian textile practice, which brings handspinning and handweaving into the same community economy. Choose it for the quiet satisfaction of a layer that feels as good as it looks.
Sabahar strives to create respectful, ethical, and sustainable opportunities for artisans in Ethiopia and showcase the talents of their weavers to the world. Inspired by the ancient weaving traditions of Ethiopia, they create exquisite textiles using natural fibers. The beauty of handspun thread is a rare commodity in our quickly changing world of mechanized textile factories.
From the spinning of the thread to the weaving of the fabric, the process is done entirely by hand. The skill of hand spinning is passed down from mother to daughter and most rural women spin at their homes. Honoring this tradition, Sabahar purchases hand-spun cotton thread from a network of women throughout Addis Ababa. As most spinning is done during free time, it is a way to support women with supplemental income.

As with all handwoven textiles, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one-of-a-kind.
Was able to use it for multiple different occasions and it looked great in every way! Feels super comfy and love how it's eco-friendly! Super warm, soft and easy to carry! Kept me warm from the cold weather!
Great all-season scarf since it is really wide and you can use it as a scarf or wrap. Exactly what I was looking for.
