Description
The stitches in “Not Exactly Blackwork” project pack are mostly inspired by needlepoint stitches. Some are used almost as their original with only changes in spacing. Other counted thread stitches are used in new and interesting groupings — and some stitches are just playful wonderings. 31 Pages, and described as a pack as it is unbound.
Blackwork Embroidery is an embroidery technique originally used to decorate clothes and bed linens.
It was meant to imitate lace where lace would have been too expensive or impractical. Today Blackwork is mostly used as fill in for counted thread designs to give texture and density, or as shapes and shadings in their own right.
