Crewel Embroidery Fabric: A Heritage Textile for Timeless Interior Style

Considered one of the rare, comfortable, luxurious, and good-quality textiles that speak, crewel embroidery is an ancient art that looks beautiful with bold textures, floral motifs, and a very strong cultural grounding with Kashmiri art. At Naqash Textiles, we consider it is our mission to preserve this ancient art through our brand Naqash by producing and selling authentic handmade crewel embroidery fabric for home décor, upholstery, and so forth.

Crewel embroidery fabric imparts a sense of luxury and elegance that many contemporary or one can say machine-printed textiles lack, whether you’re an interior designer, décor enthusiast, or just a lover of handmade textiles, crewel fabric is the answer to all your questions.

What Is Crewel Embroidery Fabric?

Crewel embroidery fabric is a piece of decorative cloth where wool yarn is stitched onto a base fabric such as cotton, linen, or jute. Unlike machine-made fabrics, every inch of crewel embroidery is handmade, resulting in a fine texture and contrasting tones between the entire length and width of the piece of fabric that a skilled weaver pours out with a learning coming from a legacy.

Most commonly associated with Kashmiri embroidery, crewel fabric features flowing designs in landscapes, often with beautiful floral motifs rendered in vibrant colors. These raised patterns give depth and impart soul to any place they’re placed in.
