Description
Learn the traditional art of crewel embroidery with this comprehensive guide. Jane Rainbow introduces you to the basics with clear step-by-step instructions and photographs, helping you build your skills from just four stitches.
The book takes you through several projects, each introducing new stitches as you progress. Line drawings accompany each design, providing a visual guide for the stitches used. The traditional designs and colours featured are reminiscent of embroidery worked during the Tudor period, creating beautiful floral pictures in wool and soft hues.
Not only will this book teach you the techniques, but it also offers practical advice on presentation and finishing your finished projects. With its clear instructions and photographs, it's an ideal resource for anyone looking to try crewel embroidery for the first time or improve their skills.
