The Exquisite Craftsmanship

Most of the time, it is the Sozni Kari that is done over a GI Pashmina shawl because of its delicate texture and finesse. Since the underlying base is exceptionallly delicate and fine, Sozni Kari is considered as most harmless embroidery of all. The making of a GI Sozni shawl starts with hand spinning and hand weaving of the finest Ladakhi Cashmere. This results in the foration of a solid GI Pashmina shawl, ready to be embroidered by master embroidery artisans

What is Sozni Kari: Sozni embroidery or Sozni Kari is a fine needlework carried upon the delicate Pashmina shawl to infuse traditional motifs in beautiful colours over a plain base. Locally known as sicznikeam (needlework), Sozni embroidery is considered one of the most sophisticated forms of embroideries in Kashmir valley, with no parallel anywhere in the world. This exceptionally fine, gossamery and artistic needlework needs the full attention and expertly skill of an artisan who spends months and sometimes years together to complete one single piece.

Be it weaving or embroidering the delicate Pashmina shawl, both need to be done carefully with utmost precision. When a Pashmina shawl is chosen for Sozni embroidery, there are a few steps to be followed

Choosing a Naqsh: A finely carved walnut wood block acts as a stamp, to lay the base for the design over the shawl. Blocks are different for borders and the centre of a shawl. It takes a lot of time to choose from amongst a hundred such blocks which have been carved by masterly walnut woodcarvers.

Stamping the shawl: An expert craftsman carefully places the chosen block dipped in ink over the shawl in the desired place.

Embroidering: This imprinted shawl is sent to embroidery experts who work over the imprints with a fine colourful threads. Colours are decided simultaneously with the process of embroidering. If a colour doesn't produce the desired effect, it can be undone to use another shade.
