Description

Function: Shawls are used in order to keep warm, to complement a costume, and for                                   symbolic reasons.

Material : Native to the Ilocano region of the Philippines, Inabel – also known as Abel – is a                        durable, colorful fabric made from yarns of cotton. The cotton is harvested,                                prepared into yarn and then dyed. Weaving Inabel is a labor intensive process –                          colored dyes must be arranged in a handloom to create various designs.                                                                                                                                         – Woven Wonders

Design :Kantarines (stripes) weave is best known for its striped designs of varying widths,                    colours, and combinations. They are commonly woven on pedal looms and are                          considered an everyday textile.
