Khit weaving is more than an art, it’s a connection to Thailand’s Isan heritage, rooted in the hands of artisans and the heart of their community. The word Khit (ขิด) means “to pick” or “to lift,” describing the delicate brocade technique used to create its iconic patterns. These intricate designs, featuring shapes like fish, elephants, and turtles, are brought to life on traditional wooden looms with threads that appear to “float” above the fabric.Once an essential part of Isan life, Khit fabric was woven for special occasions and daily use alike bedding, shoulder cloths, and even wedding gifts. ​​​​​
It was a craft passed down through generations, a skill every young woman took pride in mastering. With time, the tradition found its home in provinces like Yasothon, where Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s support helped it flourish anew.The Khit pillow, an enduring symbol of this craft, blends beauty and purpose.
Its vibrant patterns make it both a decorative treasure and a meaningful gift, often given during merit-making ceremonies or to monks as a gesture of respect and care.
