Crewelwork Chrysanthemums
Worked on pure linen twill with Appleton crewel wools, this design by Cathy is a contemporary take on Chrysanthemums, using thread painting techniques. The embroidery itself measures c. 8" x 8" and is worked and shown in a 10" embroidery hoop. The embroidery is worked on a piece of linen twill measuring 15" x 15".

Suitability - Beginners
Suitable for anyone who has done a little stitching but a beginner to crewelwork. As a guide, as long as you can use a needle and thread with basics like hemming, sewing on buttons & back stitch, then this could be for you!  It is also suitable for those who simply love Crewelwork and want to develop their 'thread painting' skills.

What you need to bring

Please note special arrangements in place during the Covid-19 Pandemic by clicking here. You should bring your own 10" embroidery hoop and sewing kit. There will be no hoops available to borrow during the Pandemic.
Under normal circumstances, all  materials and equipment are provided, but you may wish to bring your own 10" embroidery hoop if you have one. A seat frame is by far preferable for this project.   Alternatively a clip frame which is large enough for the project, would be suitable. Clip frames can be borrowed for the day of the workshop if requested in advance.The linen twill provided will measure 15" x 15".

Cost
£55 per person including all materials. (the embroidery hoop is not included in the price).


About the Workshop
The design will be pre-traced onto your linen twill. On the workshop, we will concentrate on perfecting your thread painting techniques (shading using long and short stitch). You will also learn French knots and stem stitch. Full guidance and instructions as to how to complete the project at home will be provided.
