As the dyeing is done by hand, there is a difference of concentrations of dye that reaches different segment so the cloth. So there are bands of different browns that are seen in this shawl. This is normal and NOT a defect for this group of textiles that are created in a remote village in Orissa. The unevenness adds to the beauty of the textile.

From one of the best weaving tribes of India based in the Eastern state of Orissa.
