- Crewel Work - Crewel work is a form of embroidery that uses a fine, two-ply wool yarn to create designs on a fabric ground. The yarn is typically stitched using a needle to create a variety of textures, patterns, and designs. Crewel work is known for its delicate and intricate designs, which often feature floral and foliate patterns.
It is a traditional form of embroidery that dates back to the 16th century and was particularly popular in England and colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries. Crewel work is often used to decorate clothing, linens, and upholstery. It can be done by hand or by using a crewel embroidery machine.
