Chuvash embroidery

It features a variety of ornamental motifs and embroidery techniques. Museum collections preserved items of Chuvash clothing ornamented with embroidery of the 18th — early 20th centuries. The art of embroidery in a slightly modified form is common among the Chuvash and at the beginning of the XXI century.

The national Chuvash embroidery, like that of many peoples of Russia (including the Mari neighbors in the Volga and Urals, Moksha, Erzya, Udmurts), has a countable character and a strictly geometric structure. All individual seams and patterns consisting of them are made on homespun canvas with a rectangular weave of threads. When embroidering, the needle and thread are directed left-right, down-top and diagonally (at angles of 90 and 45 degrees).

The embroidery is dense, has no visible knots. Two-sided seams were used to ornament traditional objects viewed from both sides (wedding and dance shawls, bedspreads, headbands and towels, belts and waist pendants).

The main color of embroidery is red in different shades, grassy-green, blue, and straw-yellow are used in small quantities. In traditional embroidery, a white background (yellowish color of hemp canvas) was used more often, belts were embroidered on a dark blue canvas. From the 19th century horse Chuvash began to use for this and the red base in the form of small stripes and flaps of red canvas.

In the XX century. at the enterprises of folk art crafts, linen was used for embroidery and colored radish (red, light green, blue, etc.).
