Carpets A hand knotted carpet of Kashmir is perhaps the most coveted craft of textile weavers, a passionately ornate work of art. Carpet weaving was introduced in Kashmir from Persia and Asia . Hand Knotted carpet from Kashmir is a result of hundred years of research and practice which makes it a prized item in the international trade. Having its origin in the nomadic life, it is as old as the civilization itself. The nomads handed it over to the civilization of settled population. The Muslim saint Zanul – Abudin 650, found the earliest evidence of the hand knotted carpet years ago from the deserts of Iran . The rug discovered belonged to 5 th century B.C. having 360,000 knots per square meter (232 knots per square inch ). During the reign of Moghuls some immigration of carpet weavers took place from Persia to India and thus the Persian designs were mixed with the local styles to produce some of the greatest carpets in the history. Carpets depicting Moghul hunting were very much famous all over the world. Some of these splendid products are still preserved in museums. Today Oriental carpets are manufactured all over the Asian Continent; from Balkans to China and Caucasus to Indo-Pak sub-continent.

Chain Stitched Rugs Although the carpets of Kashmir are world famous for its colour, design, fabric and durability but for floor covering chain stitched rugs are a speciality of Kashmir . These rugs are finely embroided all over in superior woollen yarn with the technique of continued stitches, not by the needle but by the hook done over hesian and sometimes on hand woven cotton covering all the base.

For embroidery, apart from the floral patterns, animals and human figures are also used. The designs are traced by the naqqash while the embroidery work is done in two or three ply woollen yarn. Silk yarn is also used sometimes. Around 6000 workers are engaged in this craft.

A chain stitched rug has the look of a carpet substituting pile by texture. Hesian based chain stitch is also used for variety of smaller articles as screen drapes, wall hangings and cushion covers etc.
