Su embroidery is the most celebrated of the four main styles of Chinese silk embroidery, hailing from Suzhou and surrounding towns of Jiangsu province. Renowned for its subtle and refined needlework, Su embroidery is praised for its use of the finest threads, balanced compositions, dense stitching and smooth finish. Su Embroidery----A Legend Created by Women During the development of Suzhou-style embroidery, many famous women pushed the art form to new levels. They displayed their cleverness and talent, and, subsequently, entrenched their names in history. Some estimates indicate there are 8,000 women embroiderers in Zhenhu. They range in age from early teens to 70-year-old grand-mothers. The Position of Su Embroidery In 2006, Su embroidery was one of the first to be selected as State-level Non-material Cultural Heritages in China. Su embroideries have been sent to many country leaders as Chinese country gifts: 2 Su embroideries were sent to British Queen Elizabeth II in 2015 and 2012, one was collected in Buckingham Palace; to Korean President Park Geun-Hye in 2014; to Mexican President in 2014, etc.. Su Embroidery Stitching Su embroidery has developed from 10 basic stitches to more than 40. Two well--regarded techniques are 'even embroidery' and 'random embroidery' . Other methods that use even stitch lengths are 'gradient stitch', 'layer stitch', 'Prodding stitch' and 'thickening stitch'.
