About

Shu Silk Embroidery Starter Kit | Bamboo

When we asked Master Wu what pattern he’d recommend for beginners, he didn’t even pause before saying, “Bamboo it is!”

Bamboo’s simple yet elegant stems and leaves are perfect for practicing 沙针 (sand stitches), one of the key techniques in Shu embroidery. But it’s more than just a practice piece—bamboo is deeply rooted in Chinese art and poetry, symbolizing resilience and grace. Master Wu believes it’s the best way to ease into the artistic world of Chinese embroidery while creating something meaningful.

This kit includes a beautiful wooden frame inspired by the traditional Shu embroidery looms used for over 2,000 years. As Master Wu puts it, “The only thing we changed is the size—it’s smaller so beginners can handle it more easily.”

We’ve made sure this kit has everything you need, from tools and materials to detailed video tutorials that Master Wu and our team worked on together. These videos walk you through each step, making the process easy and fun, even if you’re completely new to embroidery.

If you’ve ever wanted to try Shu embroidery, this kit is the perfect way to start. It’s simple, meaningful, and a great way to bring a touch of traditional craftsmanship into your daily life.

01

How to Set Up a Silk Embroidery Loom

In this tutorial, Mr. Wu teaches you how to set up a traditional Chinese embroidery loom—the essential first step in silk embroidery. We demonstrate using a mini loom from our DIY kit, but the same technique applies to full-size traditional looms. You can also substitute the black lace string shown with classic white cotton strings for a more authentic setup.

02

How to Split Silk Threads

In this tutorial, Mr. Wu demonstrates how to skillfully split silk threads using just your fingers. Thread splitting is one of the most essential—and often most challenging—skills beginners face when starting their silk embroidery journey. Mastering this technique early on will greatly improve the quality and precision of your future embroidery work.
