ARI WORK:Aari embroidery or crewel work is a specialty of artisans from Kashmir (North India).The craft of Aari embroidery has existed in India from the 12th century and was patronized by the Mughals. Its main features are the fine, concentric rings of chain stitch using a long hooked needle known as a crewel or Aari Needle. In this technique The thread is held below the cloth to be embroidered and the point of the ari is pushed through the fabric to pick up and pull through to the surface a loop of thread. The point of the aari is then again inserted into the fabric through this loop and the process is repeated, so that a continuous line of chain stitch begins to be formed.
