About Persian Cross-Stitch (Shomareh Doozi):
Cross-stitch embroidery, or Shomareh Doozi, is a traditional counted-thread technique passed down through generations. Each stitch follows the warp and weft of the fabric with mathematical precision, transforming simple cotton into a canvas of culture and connection. It’s more than just decoration—it’s a medium for storytelling, identity, and shared experience.
