About the threadwork
Aari is the Kashmiri chain-stitch style, worked in flowing floral and leaf motifs. The stitches sit slightly raised on the cloth, which is what gives the yoke its texture and depth rather than the flat look of a print. Slight variation in motif detail between pieces is normal and not a defect.
