Crewel Embroidery

Zalakdozi

Worked with a hooked needle and thick woollen thread, Kashmiri crewel brings flowing vines, blossoms and paisleys to life with a tactile, raised texture — on velvet, cotton or linen.

Crewel Embroidery
The craft of Crewel

The craft

Every stitch follows the landscape of the Valley — its orchards, its chinar leaves, its spring meadows — rendered in chain stitch so dense that the fabric seems to bloom.

We produce complete ensembles: bedcovers, cushions, drapes and upholstery lengths, coordinated for a single room or an entire residence.

The pieces

Crewel, offered privately

Prices on request. Save pieces to your selection and enquire about several at once.

Customisation

Embroidered to your measurements

Specify the base cloth, colourway, motif density and exact dimensions for beds, windows and furniture. We work to interior designers' schedules and drawings.

Hand embroidery is measured in weeks per piece — plan large projects early.
