Saree Tassels/Kuchu
Saree Tassels or Kuchu are the beautiful embellishments to the silk sarees and the handicrafts traditional form, expected by all in the saree to look great. It is understandable that India is a vibrant country and has different cultures and traditions with proper costumes, but one common thing here is a saree. Women always make sure that new techniques (plain silk thread kuchu, readymade kuchu, etc.) can be used in the saree to make it just perfect for the occasion. Kuchu decoration is one such way that has been part of woman sarees, traditionally.
Easily workable on a saree edge, crochet designs are quite an easy way to work with the right color to present expected results. These designs not just provide density but also a presence to kuchu design, presenting a modern look.

Kuchu Types
Saree kuchu comes in several styles, each giving the saree a different finish.
Here are the main types, and the saree tassels design each one suits.
Some people also search for it as “kucchu”, and it’s the same craft.
Silk Thread Kuchu
The classic tassel, made in plain silk thread. It’s simple, light and easy to match to the colour of the saree, which makes it a good fit for everyday silk sarees and for sarees with subtle borders.
Crochet Kuchu
Crochet kuchu is worked directly on the saree edge, so it sits neatly and follows the saree’s line. It’s an easy way to add texture and fullness, and its patterns give the kuchu a modern look. This is where most learners begin.
Beaded Kuchu
Beads add weight and shine to a tassel, so a beaded kuchu stands out. It suits sarees worn for occasions, where the tassel is meant to be noticed. Pearls and other beads can be combined with threads in different colours.
