Walk into any Kazakh tent (ger) in Mongolia and your eyes are immediately hit with a feast of colours and designs running around the walls. In particular are the 5 to 7 foot long embroidered wall hangings which are not only there to hide the wooden lattice frame that make up the walls of the ger, nor just to add colour and warmth to the space, but are a very real reminder of family ties. The type of stitch used for embroidery is the chain stitch, in which a special bradle picks up a loop of thread from under the cloth, pulls it over a small space on the top and resends it to the rear where it is locked in by the next loop. To watch an accomplished woman stitch with this technique reminds you just how nimble your fingers and how sharp your eyes have to be. See more at www.mongoliancashmereandcrafts.com
