Snippet*17  W O O L  for  S U M M E R

Text: Hina Nitesh

If I were to tell you that wool can be used for summer clothes, you will surely not believe me. But, I am not playing a prank. Rahul Mishra, the first non European recipient of the International Woolmark Prize has used merino wool to make clothes for summer.

The finely woven fiber comprises 90% wool and 10 % silk. The result is a sheer fabric which won the designer the honor.

The tree of life in yellow embroidered on the white background is one of the popular dresses in the collection. The embroidery in wool yarn for this collection was done by craftsmen in West Bengal and Chanderi
