Crewel Embroidery
One of the techniques of embroidery is Crewel
Embroidery. Basically, it is done with the wool threads.
But, in crewel work today we see a huge variation from traditional crewel in
the addition of other types of threads are being used. Though, the name
“crewel” embroidery tends to evoke a particular style and sense of a design.
The main key element to crewel work is not the design style basically, it’s
actually the thread. Crewelwork seems crewel work because it is worked in
crewel wool, which is a long staple, strong, and threaded spun from wool. No
matter what the crewel embroidery can be any embroidery style. It is worked
with a variety of stitches but to be accurately calling it a crewel work it
should be done with wool threads.
