This pullover applied thread-counting embroidery to the central front panel, applique embroidery to the bottom of the front and the central back panel, and batik decoration to the two sleeves.
Applique embroidery is a technique widely used in garment-making of ancient China. The crafters would first cut cloth, gauze or twill into appliques featuring patterns they wanted, paste them onto the foundation weave, and then fix them with stitches along the edges of the patches. Palette and layers of applique embroidery can be flexible, either one layer of one single color or multiple layers of various colors.
Thread-counting embroidery is usually applied to a tabby foundation by counting the exact threads of weft and warp when making every stitch based on pre-designed patterns in order to create evenly-arranged stitches on the exactly right positions. Batik is a traditional dyeing technique of drawing patterns with wax on cloth and removing the wax after having been soaked in indigo, ending up with an elegantly-colored piece of fabric with white patterns on a blue foundation, or the other way around.
