Description
The women of the Sodha community specialise in suf embroidery which is a kind of a satin stitch, that requires a geometrical calculation of the warp and weft of the fabric. - Once this calculation is done, this stitch is made on the underside of the fabric, while the patter, as if by magic, develops on the right side. - This painstaking embroidery follows a triangular pattern called a Suf. First, the Suf is counted on the warp and weft of the cloth, and then the satin stitch is worked from the back of the surface. - It's interesting to know that the motifs made in our designs are never drawn. Each artisan imagines her design, then counts it out, in reverse, as she creates. This kind of skilled work requires a deep understanding of geometry and keen eyesight. - A Suf artisan displays virtuosity in detailing by creating symmetrical patterns of triangles and accent stitches, without any previous layout.
