Sozni embroidery
Sozni embroidery is a traditional hand-embroidery technique originating from the Kashmir region of India. It involves intricate needlework using fine silk or wool threads, often featuring floral and paisley designs. This art form is typically done on shawls, stoles, and other garments, showcasing the skill and creativity of the artisans.
The process of Sozni embroidery requires great precision and patience, as it is done using a single needle. The designs are usually outlined first, followed by filling in the patterns with delicate stitches. This craftsmanship not only enhances the beauty of textiles but also preserves the rich cultural heritage of Kashmir.
