I love doing Crewel work. Crewel work is a beautiful, traditional and
ancient form of embroidery using soft two-ply crewel wool to create
a slightly raised feature on a linen twill fabric background. It is
also known as Jacobean Embroidery.
This technique uses various shades within a colour normally greens,
blues, browns, and reds worked with a design based on nature, traditionally
based on the tree of life. Crewelwork incorporates a variety of beautiful
stitches including satin stitch, French knots, stem stitch, etc. Crewelwork
is ideal for all skill-levels so give it a go!! |
