Description
‘Kasuti on Kanjivaram‘
A brand new Kanjivaram silk in peacock blue with line checks, specially chosen for Kasuti embroidery.
Of the different types of stitches in Kasuti, we have chosen the ‘Negi’.
Negi (from the word neyge in kannada, meaning weaving) is an ordinary running stitch, also known as the darning stitch or the weaving stitch in long & short straight lines. The appearance of this stich is similar to the extra warp / weft designs done in handloom.
The entire design scheme was planned and conceived making sure the position of the pleats, pallu, and the front-drape layer. Yarn colors and types were chosen to create just enough contrast for visibility.
