Pakistan is a cotton growing country hence a large number of cotton based products are being manufactured here. One of the main features of Pakistan textile crafts is that bright colors are being used irrespective of the area in which these are produced. The “Khes” woven cloth, “Rilly” patch work, “Ajrak” block printing “Zari” thread embroidery, exquisite mirror work and hand embroidery are some good examples of Pakistan handmade textile crafts.

The range of designs employed is enormous and traditional methods of weaving, printing and embroidery are used. The popular items are bed spreads, cushions, wall hangings, shawls, waist coats and dress pieces.
