PatClick on the individual thumbnails to see a larger photo. 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 giveit a go!!
