Jacobean Crewelwork
Tree of Life
Worked on pure linen twill with Appleton crewel wools, this design by Cathy was inspired by the tradition of Jacobean embroidery, with a contemporary addition of seed beads and gold thread. The embroidery itself measures c. 8" x 8" and is worked and shown in a 10" embroidery hoop (not included). The embroidery is worked on a piece of linen twill 15" x 15"
Suitability - Intermediate
Suitable for anyone with some experience of stitching. It is not suitable for complete beginners. As a guide, you should already be able to work stem stitch, French knots and blanket/buttonhole stitch. However, please note that a link to step by step YouTube video tutorial covering all the stitches is included in the price.

About the Workshop
The design will be pre-traced onto your linen twill. On the workshop, we will start with close blanket stitch and Jacobean couching and then work on the less well-known stitches, including heavy chain, cretan and burden stitch. It is not possible to complete the stitching for this project in one day, however you will learn the stitches that are not familiar to you and will be given full guidance and instructions as to how to complete the project at home, as well as a link to a step-by-step YouTube tutorial.
