Crewelwork is one of the oldest embroidery techniques; associated
with the 17th century and often known as Jacobean embroidery, it is
as popular today as it has ever been. Historically worked in soft
wools on twilled linens, today's embroiderer is discovering just
how successfully the techniques can be applied to stranded cotton
threads and a wider variety of fabrics. Crewelwork embroidery is
distinguished by its textured, almost three-dimensional stitches.
This book outlines in step-by-step detail the working of 48 of the
most versatile stitches, listed alphabetically for easy reference.
Sixteen new embroidery designs show the stitches worked in context
and trace-off patterns are included. The featured embroideries
include traditional Jacobean motifs, contemporary flowers, and
whimsical celebration designs. There are also ideas for using the
embroidered designs on several small projects.
