Artisan
textile arts play an important role in Ukrainian culture, especially in
Ukrainian wedding traditions.
Ukrainian embroidery,
weaving and lace-making are used in traditional
folk dress and in traditional celebrations. Ukrainian embroidery varies depending on the region of origin and the designs have a long history of motifs, compositions, choice of colours and types of stitches. Use of colour is very important and has roots in
Ukrainian folklore. Embroidery motifs found in different parts of Ukraine are preserved in the
Rushnyk Museum in
Pereiaslav.
