Making Process:
Stages involved in making process are:
1. Block printing
2. Embroidery work
3. Washing
Block Printing: Initially, the design to be worked is printed on the plain fabric. The wooden block is dipped
in the color solution which is made by mixing glue and indigo. Then it is printed on the fabric. There will be
different blocks for butis, floral patterns and borders. In Lucknow, the printing process is done by separate
group of artisans who mainly concentrate in printing. The printed fabric is now ready for the embroidery
work.
Embroidery work: The embroidery is done over the printed design pattern using needle and thread. The
artisan creates traditional patterns using different techniques. Different types of stitches can be made in one
product.
Washing: Washing is the final stage of production process. The fabric after embroidery work is first soaked
in water and then washed to remove the block printed blue color. Then it is starched and ironed to obtain

What is 'Kantha'?
View the selection
In Bengali language a 'kantha' is a blanket made of cotton, hand quilted with cotton thread.
'Kantha' stitch is the simple running stitch embroidery. 'Kantha' stitched silk sarees from Bengal
made a name for itself. Creating each saree is a labor intensive process, since these are always
hand embroidered. Each one is a work of art.
The simplicity of the stitch and the intricacy of the design gives these sarees a sophisticated and
elegant look.
