Hi Folks!

•
A-Z of Whitework•
A-Z of Crewel Embroidery•
A-Z of Needlepointare definitely must-have on our bookshelves
No matter if we're more or less skilled in this crafts, for these books are ideal both for beginners and for those who can already rely on a certain know-how, or can somehow already master these techniques.
Featuring several hundreds of pictures, speaking the universal language of clearness, just like the other manuals of this range already did:
•
A-Z of Embroidered Stitches•
A-Z of Embroidered Motifs•
A-Z of StumpworkHandbooks to always keep at our reach, to discover some new tricks, or just to refresh some stitch that we haven't been using for some time, these three brand new volumes contain anything you need to know about
Whitework,
Crewel Embroidery and
Needlepoint.
The first is fully dedicated to the stitches that are typically used in "tone on tone" embroidery - usually with white threads on white linen - that has found lovely expressions worldwide, for example in the Italian
Reticello, in the Norwegian
Hardanger and with the Irish
Mountmellick, just to mention the three most famous examples of Whitework
The second book is all about the wonderful
Crewel Embroidery to create amazingly tridimensional subjects, so classic and though always so modern!
The third one leads us through a huge number of different needlepoint stitches: from traditional ones, such as hem and cross stitch, to the most up-to-date ones, currently very fashionable and able to create multicolor, geometrical designs
Enjoy! ✿◕‿◕✿
