Sozni Pashmina Shawl
Sozni work is a marriage of the art style with the imagination. Sozni embroidery uses thin needles and silk threads to create elaborate floral or paisley patterns on pashmina shawls and stoles. The needle work panel of abstracts or flower motif designs on boarders of the shawls is created with satin stitch and has identical designs on both sides along the breadth of a shawl or covers the entire surface of a shawl. The colorful motifs are so intricately embroidered that the pashmina base is barely visible. Sozni requires patience and hard work.
