The Exquisite Craftsmanship

Most of times, it is the Sozni Kari that is done over a Cashmere Wrap because of its delicate texture and finesse. Since the underlying base is delicate as well, Sozni Kari is considered as most harmless embroidery of all.

What is Sozni Kari: Sozni embroidery or Sozni Kari is a fine needle work carried upon the delicate Cashmere Wrap to infuse traditional motifs in beautiful colours over a plain base. Locally known as sicznikeam (needle work), Sozni embroidery is considered as one of the most sophisticated forms of embroideries in Kashmir valley, with no parallel anywhere in the world. This exceptionally fine, gossamery and artistic needle work 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 Cashmere Wrap, both need to be done carefully with utmost precision. When a Cashmere Wrap 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 wrap. Blocks are different for borders and centre of a wrap. It takes a lot of time to choose from amongst a hundred such blocks which have been carved by masterly walnut wood carvers.

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

Embroidering: This imprinted wrap 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.

Patterns of Sozni Kari:

Dordaar: If the embroidery is done on all four borders of a Cashmere Wrap

Palladaar: If the embroidery is done in a wider design on the two opposite pallas

Jaalidaar: If the embroidery spans all over the base in a loose design

Jamawar: If the embroidery spans all over the base, in a more compact design, such that the base isn't visible.
