Embroidery craft was well-developed in the town of Lyskovo and its neighbourhood since the old time, especially when a famous fair was held at the walls of Makariev monastery. Among many handicraft products of Lyskovo golden embroidery and “Lyskovo guipure” were in the greatest demand at the fair. Another popular technique of the folk embroidery is the so called white stitch with addition of coloured outline. Sometimes the stitch was combined with white satin-stitch made in the form of a dense layer. The usual pattern was the combination of flowers, leaves and buds on flexible stems.

“Lyskovskie Usory” CJSC is still the same embroidery factory founded in 1960. The ornamental patterns developed by folk masters in the course of centuries with the typical plant motifs have been revived and found new life in the products of Lyskovo embroideresses.

Not long ago the specialists of the company developed the technique of machine stitch with a peculiar texture of the graphic pattern.
