I use specific counted-thread techniques like Kasuti and Negi to ensure these designs are not just surface decorations, but structured, lasting parts of the shawl itself. ### Why Kasuti and Negi on Wool? Most people associate Kasuti with cotton, but the geometric precision of the counting stitch works beautifully on wool. When I apply these patterns to a woollen base, I am looking for stability and texture. The Negi stitch, which is a weaving-style technique, adds a subtle, raised dimension to the fabric that simple flat embroidery cannot achieve. It provides a tactile experience that respects the weight and warmth of the wool while adding a layer of heritage. ### The Process Every shawl in this collection is treated as a slow fashion project. I do not rush the counting. Because these are woollen pieces, I ensure the thread thickness matches the weave density of the fabric. If the thread is too heavy, it drags; if it is too light, it disappears into the fibres. The goal is a balanced look where the intricate temple motifs or floral patterns look like they were woven into the textile from the start. ### Care and Longevity These pieces are meant to be worn and passed down. Because the embroidery is done by hand, I always recommend dry cleaning or gentle hand washing with mild wool-specific detergent. Avoid wringing or scrubbing the embroidered areas. If you store these during the warmer months, keep them in breathable cotton covers rather than plastic to let the wool breathe, ensuring your shawl remains a part of your winter wardrobe for years to come. ## About Sameeksha I'm Sujaya. At Sameeksha, I don't just make shawls; I treat each one as a canvas for storytelling. Embroidery is my way of keeping traditional skills alive, and I pour that same meditative focus into every stitch on these woollen pieces.
