Stages in making the Kiswa of the Kaaba
The making of the covering for the Holy Kaaba undergoes seven precise stages, starting with purifying the water used for washing and dyeing the silk. It then proceeds through washing and dyeing to remove wax coatings and color the silk, followed by automated weaving of the threads into strands containing more than 9,900 threads per meter. The verses of the Quran and decorative motifs are then applied using screen printing techniques, in addition to assembly, sewing, and embroidery with golden threads, silver wires, and water gold. The process concludes with quality control before the final installation on the Kaaba each year. The production of the cover involves large quantities of silk, gilded silver, and cotton to ensure the accuracy and quality of the final product.
