CHAIN STITCHING
Chain Stitch - Natively known as "Jalakdozi", chain stitch rugs are the speciality of Kashmir. These rugs are made on "hessain cloth" or handmade cotton cloth, in continued stitch with superior woolen or silken yarn, with the help of a hook type tool natively called "Aurah". The designs range from floral patterns to animal and human forms traced by a designer, while the craftsman embroiders in two-ply or three ply woollen/silken yarn. The rug looks like a carpet in which the pile is substituted by the texture.
