“Built on trust, consistency, and relationships that have lasted for generations.”
— Founding Philosophy, Tal Barahi Handicraft
Nepal's Most Trusted Wool Supplier.
Founded in 1994, four partners came together in Kathmandu with a humble vision rooted in Nepal's textile tradition. What began in wool dyeing and Pashmina work grew, through trust, consistency and genuine industry knowledge, into the country's most relied-upon wool supply partnership.
In the early 2000s, direct import of premium New Zealand wool began, opening a new chapter that has defined Tal Barahi Handicraft for over two decades.

Trusted by Nepal's Craft Industry Leaders
We have worked with Tal Barahi for over eighteen years. The wool quality and supply consistency has never wavered. For our carpet production, that reliability is not a preference; it is a necessity.
Sushil Maharjan
Director

Tal Barahi understands our industry at a level that is rare in a supplier. When we expanded our felt export line, they guided us through the right wool specifications for international buyer compliance. That is genuine partnership.
Binod Karmacharya

The consistency of wool we receive batch after batch has allowed us to scale our knitwear production with confidence. Tal Barahi is not just a supplier but a long-term partner in the truest sense of the word.
