The Art of Sozni Embroidery
Sozni embroidery is one of the most refined forms of Kashmiri needlework. The word "Sozni" derives from the
Persian word "Sozan," meaning needle. This intricate technique involves creating delicate patterns using fine
needles and silk or cotton threads. The traditional border (neemdor) design features multicolored embroidery
that complements the cream base and reddish-maroon accents, creating a harmonious and elegant aesthetic.
