Color palette: Uses vibrant threads—greens, pinks, blues—on neutral cotton bases like beige, white, black, or pastels .
???? Fabric & Fit Materials: Typically made from breathable cotton varieties (e.g., Ruby cotton, “Summer Cool” cotton), as well as wool-cotton blends or georgette .
???? Embroidery Details Chains & embellishments: Aari work employs chain-stitch loops; sequins, beads, or zari can be attached during the process .
