Zou Yingzi is a Representative Inheritor of Suzhou embroidery (Su Xiu) and a national master in crafts.
In the world of traditional silk, material and method are inseparable. Superior cocoons make longer, more uniform filaments possible; meticulous stitching and finishing turn that potential into tangible sheen and longevity. Every EVERSILK piece is the result of that source-to-craft collaboration.
Zou’s work restoring Dunhuang embroideries and mounting large-scale shows demonstrates that the same thread can yield entirely different textures and light-play depending on stitch, tension and finishing — directly supporting the proposition “materials + technique = final expression.”
She also speaks about respecting material: “Our needlework must respect every subject we depict,” a perspective that underlines why careful material selection and craft control are foundational to sustained tactile elegance in premium textiles.
Zou Yingzi’s practice illustrates that the same silk yarn can render very different textures and luster depending on stitch and treatment. EVERSILK’s attention to thread selection, weaving and hand finishing is how premium filament becomes enduring handfeel.
