Chain stitching is an ancient sewing craft, in which a series of looped stitches are sewn into a chain-like pattern. It is well-known in embroidery, as well as in producing super quality rugs. Many traditional Kashmiri chain stitched rugs are of museum or gallery quality.

The process begins with woolen threads dyed using natural colors wherever possible. The threads are hand-sewn in chain stitch onto a cotton fabric, and a cotton backing is then applied. Each of the rugs is made individually in this way.

They are all produced by adult crafts people, working in co-operatives, setting their own rates for the work, and creating a true cottage industry in their area. Best quality wool and cotton are used, along with color-fast natural dyes. And these rugs are washable as wool, even in the washing machine.
