"Tamang" – Hand-knitted Nepalese sweater

Kunsang

"The brown and grey tones look so earthy and natural – a sweater that simply goes with any outfit."

"Tamang" Hand-Knitted Nepali Sweater

The "Tamang" is a hand-knitted Nepali sweater, made in the mountain regions around Panauti, Banepa, and Shakhu. Each piece is crafted stitch by stitch through traditional handwork – warm, full of character, and absolutely unique.

The model in the product photos is 185 cm tall and wears the sweater in size XL – the fit is normal to slightly loose, with natural stretch due to pure wool.

Material & Warmth

The sweater is knitted from dense, natural sheep's wool. It provides reliable warmth, breathable, temperature-regulating properties, durable quality, and a pleasant, heavy feel. Perfect for cold days, autumn hikes, or relaxed hours indoors.

Design & Pattern

The "Tamang" features classic two-tone knit patterns deeply rooted in Nepali knitting tradition: rhythmic geometries and clear contrasts in brown, grey, and natural tones, with traditional motifs varying slightly depending on the knitter. A natural, earthy look that suits every style – from outdoor to urban casual.

Practical Details

• Carefully crafted round neck fit
• Tightly knitted structure for maximum warmth
• Elastic ribbed cuffs for a perfect fit

Since each sweater is individually hand-knitted, there may be small differences in pattern and colour gradation – you will receive a truly unique piece.

Fair & Social

With every purchase, you support Nepali women's cooperatives, fairly paid handwork, the preservation of traditional knitting techniques, and sustainable, resource-efficient production. Whether in the city, mountains, or by the fireplace – the "Tamang" brings warmth, character, and authentic Nepali craftsmanship into your everyday life.
