Chain Stitch – Natively known as ”Jalakdozi”, chain stitch rugs are the speciality of Kashmir. These rugs are made on ”hessain cloth” or hand made cotton cloth, in continued stitch with superior woolen or silken yarn, with the help of a hook type tool natively called ”Aurah”.
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 woollen/silken yarn. The rug looks like a carpet in which the pile is substituted by the texture. Chain stitch rugs is used both as floor covering and wall hanging.
The rug is supported with cloth-lining to add to the durability. It comes in sizes 2×3, 3×5, 6×4, 6×9 and 9×12 feet.
