Crewel embroidery

Edición de la obra Crewel embroidery

The word 'crewel' describes the highly spun, two-ply wool with which the embroidery is stitched. In this age of industrialization we are rediscovering a craft that had its beginnings over a thousand years ago, and we are relearning how to express creative individualism and talent as our forebears did so successfully. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced emroiderer, you will find easy-to-follow instructions for all of the full-colour illustrated articles made especially for this book. Most of the designs, both modern and traditional, are adaptable for other pieces you might wish to make. -- Introduction.
