The designs of Shu, embroidery, and crochet in Chitral are conceived naturally, products of conscious creation. Their successful completion is possible only in the hands of artisans trained in these special crafts. The human designer transforms nature into new forms and materials according to vision or necessity and with specially designed tools. The product is in mind before the process of creation is begun and the process takes place as a result of unique skills and or basic needs. In Chitral, most products are created to fulfill basic human requirement, and fully utilize the scarce resources. Shu, knitting and crochet items are intended to keep Chitrali’s warm in the severe winter months. Embroidery is one of the crafts that falls into both categories of art and necessity as it is used for decorative purposes, but a necessary pastime in the winter season to pass the time. Inspiration in Chitral is easily available in the form of intense natural beauty, which is abundant in the place where the world ends and "Paradise" begins.
