For each worker in Thanh Ha embroidery village, each stitch brings them endless inspiration. Under the skillful hands of the craftsmen, each vibrant and vivid flower gradually appeared, decorating the mattress and the handkerchief more beautifully. Or the petals are arranged in vertical and horizontal rows, creating elegant decorative borders on bed sheets and curtains, reminiscent of simple floral embroidered clothes in the early 18th century. All make up an embroidery space with thousands of blooming flowers, attracting any soul who loves beauty and is passionate about discovering the region's traditional culture.
 

Tools and equipment in the embroidery village are straightforward. Labor is mainly manual. The entire craft village now has over 5,000 embroidery frames, 30 households have washing and printing equipment and other tools such as needles, hooks, knives and scissors. The stages of embroidery work include raw material preparation, pattern making, color mixing and printing, embroidery, laundry, packaging inspection, and consumption. The above steps are now done entirely by manual labor.

In particular, in order to ensure the quality of island prototyping, only a few technical and capital-intensive households are in charge, as well as providing services for the whole village. The stage of inspecting, packing and consuming products belongs to enterprises (in charge of consuming all craft village products). Workers only perform one embroidery stage.
 

Embroidery craft has the characteristics of low consumption of raw materials but a lot of crystallized labor in the product, so the product's value is excellent.

The most popular items are bed sheets, pillows, and tablecloths…
