Among Chinese
embroidery, Xiang embroidery is famous for it's rich color gradient and short
stitches. Xiang embroidery uses 16 shades for each color. Comparing to 8 by the runner-up
embroidery (name skipped to protect the runner-up ),
Xiang embroidery's color looks much fuller. Shorter stitches means more work, and thus
better details in the embroidery. For hand done craftwork, better detail is
king.
