More Wools for Crewel Embroidery
Intermittently over the last few months, we’ve been looking at a variety of wool threads to use for embroidery.
Over the years, I’ve explored some wool projects here on Needle ‘n Thread. I wrote extensively about my Crewel Rooster project here. And I explored the Mellerstain Firescreen project for a bit here, where I wrote about my love-hate relationship with wool; and here, where I asserted my case for rabbits. (I haven’t finished the firescreen project, but it is on my List.)
I’ve embroidered with wool on wool felted mittens, like these mittens and these mittens. And I’ve explored some small wool projects, like this small crewel pomegranate here, and other similar small projects.
But I’ve never really dug into all kinds of wool threads in great detail, so that’s what I’ve been doing lately here on the blog.
