Su embroidery (su xiu 苏绣) is the most celebrated of the four main styles of Chinese silk embroidery, hailing from Suzhou and surrounding towns of Jiangsu province. Renowned for its subtle and refined needlework, Su embroidery is praised for its use of the finest threads, balanced compositions, dense stitching and smooth finish.
Compared to the other three embroidery styles — Xiang of Hunan; Shu of Sichuan and Yue of Guangdong, Su embroidery is characterized by distinct stitching techniques, use of split silk threads and a breadth of art themes.
