Gavanthi Murgi Negi Menthi d. Menthi: This stitch is an ordinary cross stitch. Menthi in Kannada means Fenugreek Seed. This cross stitch usually appears heavy as it is used for filling purpose. This stitch requires more length of thread than the other three stitches. Similar to Negi, even this stitch does not give same appearance on either sides of the cloth. It can be seen in Ikat sarees.
6. Noil Silk: The shorter waste fibers in the form of comber noils from spun silk processing are spun into coarser, irregular, neppy yarns using the woollen spinning system. Also known as Bourette Silk.
