In addition to our selections of other forms of needlework we carry a few designs and kits for crewel work, wool embroidery and silk ribbon embroidery. Crewel work is not as popular as it once was so the number of kits on the market is pretty limited. We stock several silk ribbon embroidery books as well as a selection of silk ribbon (Dinky Dyes, The Thread Gatherer and Gloriana).
Crewel work seems to be seeing a resurgence in interest
this past year and we've been able to find some lovely kits.Custom
House in CT has a line of pillows, bellpulls and other kits
with a contemporary feel. We can order any of their kits. In stock are
crewel kits
from the English company The
Crewel Work Company. Phillipa Turnbull is a master of crewel
work and has some really beautiful traditional crewel designs. We have
a selection of Phillipa's kits and can order any that we don't have in
stock.
Many customers have asked us about iron on embroidery transfer patterns. We carry a great line from Sublime Stitching, which are a comtemporary version of what many of use think of as embroidery transfer.
If you want to create your own designs we have Water Erasable, Air Erasable and Iron-On Transfer pens as well as linen twill which is great for doing embroidery - but why not try it on your clothing!
A good place to locate traditional stamped embroidery is Herrschners, which still carries one of the largest selections of this form of needlework. You can request a catalog from them on their web site.
We've had several requests for information on rug hooking kits and yarns and suggest you check out the Rug Hookers Network. They have information on guilds, teachers and suppliers.
