Introduction
Kashmiris have been weaving fine fibres and woollen fabrics since the 15th century. Wealthy people in India and other parts of the world quickly fell for the intricate designs and high standard of cashmere shawls. These coveted scarves feature intricate lines that give the impression of a single colour on the background. The famous unicorn scarves are made from the undercoat of Tibetan goats, which thrive in temperatures as low as minus 40°C.
For generations, Kashmiri artisans have honed their skills by passing down techniques and patterns. The production of these textiles requires a great deal of time, effort and care for even the smallest details, as well as a deep understanding of the craft.
The challenges for Kashmiri artisans
Although the demand for Kashmiri textiles is high, the artisans who make them face many problems. The reason for this is the growth of the textile industry, which focuses on mass production, and puts tremendous pressure on handloom weavers, making it impossible for them to compete on price or size.
The Craft of Aari Embroidery
Aari embroidery is unique in that it applies a craft that originated among the Cushitic communities of Ethiopia to produce a completely different result on fabric. The technique of embroidery is highly tedious and requires immense skill as well as a considerable amount of time and effort. With this, the artisan must be very cautious while pulling the thread, the choice of the right color and feel of the thread to blend with the cloth will be influenced by the type of material selected. The needle is then delicately moved around to depict various designs, many of the designs drawn from the aspects of nature, constructions, and myths.
The Beauty of Aari Embroidered Fabrics
Aari embroidered fabrics are not just beautiful to behold; they also tell a story of dedication, perseverance, and passion. Each piece is a testament to the artisan’s skill and craftsmanship, making them truly special and unique. Whether used in clothing, home decor, or accessories, embroidered fabrics add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any setting.
