Shafaq-e-Feuille – Fern Sprig Scroll Jaal Yarn-Dyed Katan Satin

Dense sprays of fern fronds and leafy sprigs in green-gold zari spread across the cloth, each spray centered on a small gold blossom. Darker maroon-black thread is worked into the shaded leaves, which gives the foliage depth and a slightly overlapping, layered look. Under the zari, the satin itself carries a tone-on-tone scroll pattern of curling, cloud-like swirls woven into the ground. Because the yarns are dyed before weaving, the base shifts between deep violet, magenta, and blue-indigo as the cloth folds and the light moves. The katan satin is glossy and fluid, so the colour shift stays visible across the whole length.

Fabric Details:

• Type: Pure Katan Satin, yarn-dyed
• Weave: Floral and fern jaal brocade with zari, over a woven tone-on-tone scroll ground
• Texture: Smooth, lustrous satin with a fluid drape and lightly raised zari work
• Design: Dense green-gold fern sprigs with small gold blossoms over a woven scroll ground, with a shifting violet, magenta, and indigo sheen
• Width: 42"
• Best For: Flowing shirt or long kameez where the shot-colour sheen shows in the movement of the cloth, a gharara or sharara in which the dense foliage reads evenly across the panels, and a dupatta that falls in folds so the colour shift is visible

Care Instructions:

• Dry clean only. Store loosely folded in breathable muslin, away from sunlight and moisture, and keep it away from damp or rubbing surfaces, since yarn-dyed fabric can show wear at the folds if it is stored tightly creased.
