Sozni embroidery, also known as Sozan Kari, is one of the most delicate and sophisticated forms of needlepoint embroidery in the world. Practised exclusively by Kashmiri artisans, this technique involves layering ultra-fine stitches to create a tapestry-like surface, traditionally used to adorn pashmina and wool shawls. Each motif is painstakingly handworked, with no shortcuts or machines involved.
This shawl is woven in a traditional manner to ensure exceptional softness and comfort. Every stitch is crafted entirely by hand, taking approximately 15 days to complete, making each piece truly one of a kind.
