  • Kantha eller kanthabroderi är en tråckelteknik från Bangladesh. Kantha består av det allra enklaste av broderistygn, nämligen en jämn rad förstygn (upp-och-ned-stygn) och är en mycket gammal teknik. Beroende på hur stygnet används, i olika formationer, så skapas kanthan komplexa betydelser och mönster. Från början var stygnet till för att sammanfoga gamla saris för återvinna dem och att göra tjockare täcken av dem. Det var också ett sätt att uttrycka sig på, för kvinnor både i städer och på landsbygden i Bengal. (sv)

  • Kantha also spelled kanta, and qanta, is a type of embroidery craft in the Bangladesh and eastern regions of India, particularly in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and Odisha. In Odisha, old saris are stacked on each other and hand-stitched to make a thin piece of cushion. This is normally used above a bed cushion or instead of a cushion.

In these days, embroidery is stitched, popularly known as 'kantha stitched", on sari, kurta (or panjabi) and churidar and many other garments and gaining popularity due to their aesthetic value and handmade characteristics. Kantha stitching is also used to make simple quilts, commonly known as nakshi kantha. Women in Bengal typically use old saris and cloth and layer them with kantha stitching to make a light blanket, throw, or bedspread, especially for children. Kantha is very popular with tourists visiting the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent. (en)

Broderitekniken väcktes till liv igen på 1970-talet när några kvinnor startade broderigrupper i Bangladesh. Man visade unga flickor det gamla hantverket och gav dem tyg och tråd så de kunde göra egna broderier. (sv)
