Suzani rug

Suzani rug

Suzani is a type of antique embroidered rug and decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asia countries. Its name is from the Persian سوزن "Suzan" which means needle. The art of making such textiles in Iran is called سوزنکاری "Suzankāri" (needlework).

Chain, satin, and buttonhole stitches are the primary stitches used. There is also extensive use of couching, in which decorative thread laid on the fabric as a raised line is stitched in place with a second thread.
