Art Of Threads

Our shop, Art Of Threads, is located in Green Model Townm in Jalandhar. It’s a busy little neighborhood, and we fit right in with the other shops on the street. We mostly deal with all things related to sewing, embroidery, and fabrics. There are stacks of thread spools everywhere you look—literally every color you can think of and some you probably can’t. My hands are usually a bit rough from handling the needles and cloth all day, but you get used to it. We have a few machines tucked in the back that hum along most of the afternoon. It’s not a silent place; there is always someone talking or the sound of scissors cutting through heavy material. We get a lot of local ladies coming in looking for specific shades of silk or cotton to match a suit they’re making. Sometimes we run out of a popular color, and then we have to wait for the next delivery, which can be a bit of a headache. The shop window is usually a bit cluttered because we try to show off whatever new patterns we’ve got, but it probably looks a bit messy to people passing by. We don’t mind, though. It’s a working shop, not a museum. If you need something fixed or you're looking for a particular kind of lace, we usually have it buried somewhere in a drawer. It’s a messy, colorful, busy way to spend the day.
