Chain stitched rugs or Gabbas are popular in India. In the past chain -stitch rugs were considered as cheap floorings and their importance was less. In the course of time namdas and chain-stitch rugs have achieved the status of a full-fledged craft form. These rugs have become so popular, that they are also being used as decorative pieces and wall hangings. Chain stitch rugs are not only popular in the domestic market but they are popular abroad.

 

Kashmir is the main center for chain-stitch rugs. Rugs are usually made of 65% Wool or Silk yarn and 35% cotton yarn. Chain stitch embroidery covers the entire surface of the rug. The embroidery done on the rugs is coarse in comparison with the fine embroidery done on traditional Kashmiri shawls. Traditionally pastel coloured Hessian cloth is used for chain stitch work, which is backed by a strong cotton fabric. The light pinks, blues, greens and creams are predominant colours. Woolen and cotton threads are used in creating these beautiful rugs. Chain stitching creates an embossed effect on the surface of the cloth. This effect is increased by the use of dark threads adjacent to light ones However these rugs come in a variety of colours and designs. Traditional Kashmiri floral motifs and patterns adorn the surface of these rugs. Apart from rugs and floorings chain-stitch work is also done on tablemats, tea sets, bags, curtains etc in Kashmir.
