Chainstitch Tapestry Rugs

Chainstitch, be it in wool, silk or cotton is done by hook rather than a needle. The hook is referred as an "Aari"; it covers a much larger area than needlework in the same amount of time and has the same quality. All the embroidery is executed on white cotton fabric, pre-shrunk by the manufacturers. Tiny stitches are used to cover the entire area, the figures or motifs are worked in striking colors, the background in a single color comprising of series of coin sized concentric circles. These circles impart dynamism and a sense of movement to the design. This work is usually used for making wall hangings.

Natively known as "jalakdozi", this work (chain stitch) is done with a hook in long flowing designs. The embroidery is done allover on a Hessian or hand-woven cloth base. 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 yarns. Silk yarn is also used in the embroidery and the rug looks like a carpet in which the pile is substituted by the texture. Chainstitched tapestry rugs are used both as floor covering and wall hanging. Tapestry wall hangings are supported with cloth-lining to add to the durability. These rugs comes in sizes 2’x3’, 2.5'x4', 3’x5’, 6’x4’, 6’x9’ and 9'x12'.
