These stitches are quite common in embroidered textiles from Central Asia, thus give it that distinct look besides the bigger motifs and patterns. There are a couple of pieces with incredibly intricate needlework displayed at the Isamic Arts Museum textile section. The painstaking work will literally take your breath away, for a few seconds! It still happens to me.
The stitches are not as refine as the hilltribes in Asia, yet this piece of embroidery presents beauty of its own.
