Sozni Kari
Sozni Kari, also known as thread embroidery, is one such art form from the world of ancient embroideries. Typically, Pashmina shawls are used for it. In actuality, Shah I Hamdan, an Islamic saint who lived in the 14th century, introduced it to the locals. He invested his own money in 700 artisans to teach the villagers this painstaking craft. As a result, farmers were frequently those who chose this craft as their job. In the past, when farming didn't need all-day labour, farmers would labour over Pashmina shawls! Since that time and up to the present, numerous artists in the valley have made a living off of the art of creating an embroidered Pashmina.
Without a doubt, each Pashmina shawl has a unique embroidery pattern. Additionally, some designs are dense, some are freer, and still, others are condensed to the point where the base is hardly noticeable. Sozni embroidered Pashmina shawls have been divided into the following categories based on the design:
Pattern 1: Dordaar Pashmina Shawl
In this design, the embroidery forms a vine of patterns that stretches over the borders. One, two, or three inches can be the width of the border. So, these shawls can be used for casual settings.
Pattern 2: Palladar Pashmina Shawl
On the two wide sides of a Palldar shawl, needlework motifs are present. Therefore, these shawls are appropriate for both semi-formal and casual settings.
Pattern 3: Bootidaar Pashmina Shawl
All over the base of this pashmina shawl are tiny booties of needlework designs. Both casual and formal settings can make use of these.
Pattern 4: Jalidaar Pashmina Shawl
The loose design of the delicate needlework that covers the base is the result of the artisan's amazing expertise. This pattern highlights both the stitching and the Pashmina's inherent elegance.
Pattern 5: Jamawar Pashmina Shawl
This needlework covers the entire base, much like the Jalidar design does, but in such a busy pattern that the base receives the least attention. These can be used as gifts for the bride, for special wedding occasions, or for the bride herself.
This embroidery is thought to be the most careful and challenging to complete, making it relatively uncommon. The final product is created by combining dazzling hues with amazing elegance. The shawl is nothing short of a work of art. An artisan must spend several hours on a Pashmina shawl with this level of embroidery. And even then, when the needlework is scarcely more than a flowery wine, much alone totally embroidered.
The uniqueness of pashmina is due to these exquisite designs. Shop these amazing designs at Sharda Global.
