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.
