Summary
Drawn thread workers use the drawn thread work technique, a type of openwork embroidery, to apply decorative patterns to clothing and textile products.
Description
Drawn thread workers transfer patterns onto fabric based on designs and apply openwork embroidery using specialized needles and fine threads. They reinforce the openings created by drawing out threads while weaving them up to produce lace-like decorations. High attention to detail and precise manual dexterity are required to meet the design and quality standards demanded for each product. They perform concentrated work for extended periods in ateliers or factories, inspect and correct the finished products, and deliver them.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected to continue in high-end fashion and traditional crafts fields, while artisan demand is projected to decline due to the expansion of mass production through automation. Technology succession and design proposal skills will become important.
