about craft
Kashmiri Aari is one of the old-fashioned forms of embroidery in India. Aari embroidery is done with a pen-like needle that matches the shape of crochet hooks. It is giving enormous growth to an inherent form of artwork. Sozni (also known as Sozan Kaari) is a popular needlepoint embroidery technique from Kashmir valley in Northern India. Kashmiri artisans have been practicing Sozni embroidery since almost 500 years ago. It’s mainly done on wool and silk fabrics and is very famous for its use in Pashmina Cashmere shawls and jackets. The interesting fact about Sozni embroidery is that its intricacy can vary from 5 stitches per cm to 500 stitches per cm. Kashmiri Tilla embroidery is a highly skilled and time-consuming process. It involves the use of a specialized needle, which is used to create intricate designs on the fabric. The metallic threads, which are often made of gold or silver, are then sewn onto the fabric, creating a raised and textured effect. The designs often feature motifs such as flowers, leaves, and vines.
