In addition to their main category (e.g. Black-Striped, White-Striped) we've also added all of our lightweight tallits to a single category to help customers looking for a lightweight tallit find and compare them easily. The weight in the table below is shown in grams for a size 60. Wool is an organic fiber, therefore the weight can vary somewhat from one production run to another.

Note: When comparing weight, tallits that feature textured nonslip weaves may feel lighter than the weight shown on the scale might indicate, because they are airy.
