KUZNEY-China’s Xinjiang traditional Atlas silk was included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008.
Atlas silk is crafted using hand-tie-dyeing techniques. After tying the warp threads, the fabric undergoes layered dyeing, warping, and weaving. The dye applied to the warp threads naturally bleeds and spreads due to the penetration of the dye solution.
The dyes used are primarily extracted from natural materials such as pomegranate flowers and walnut shells.
Edles silk, as the traditional fabric of uyghur, carries rich historical culture.It is made of pure natural materials that are hand-dyed and woven, and each piece of clothing is a unique work of art.Its colors are bright and harmonious, and the patterns are complex yet elegant, giving people a beauty that goes through time and space.
Each silk cocoon undergoes
boiling to extract silk, reeling, design, bundling, tie-dyeing,
pattern refinement, and machine weaving
to ultimately become Edles silk.

At a handcrafted Edles silk workshop in Jiya Township, Sudurhan Abudurehemu boils silkworm cocoons to extract the silk threads.

In Hotan’s Jia Township, ancient tie-dye techniques and wooden looms remain preserved, with the area regarded as the primary birthplace of Edles silk. Local residents take pride in Edles, vying to become inheritors of this intangible cultural heritage craft. Upon entering Jia Township, the rhythmic clatter of looms fills the air. Through the adoption of modern techniques such as mechanised weaving and innovative design, these intangible cultural heritage crafts have been revitalised. Edles silk produced locally in Hotan has now transcended Xinjiang’s borders, finding markets across China and gradually gaining international recognition. Visitors from afar flock to experience this enchanting and vibrant ancient tradition.
