- Crewel Embroidery demands sturdy and weaved tightly base fabrics to keep the needlework from sagging. It also provides tension while the design is being done but the use of frames like hoops is still very important. It ensures that the design will never distort of crumple during and after the needlecraft is done.
The stunning technique of Crewel embroidery is also a long way to follow. In fact, these are museum pieces traced back to the early 1500s as part of European culture. It was introduced when the East started trading their fine wool, although the word crewel was used even earlier in 1494. It refers to wool yarns used in crewelwork. The word is also used as a joke that means the cruelty of the needle’s pricks every practicing person will need to endure.
To date, the culture lives on and it spread across continents. Women, especially, are drawn to the relaxing process of crewel embroidery. Mothers love designing and producing designs they love their families to wear and homes to use. Also, this technique of needle craft is among the best employment nowadays due to the high demands of fashionable dresses and home fabric decorations.
It's materials are also widely available over the counters and even online. On top of that, formal trainings and schoolings are also offered to those willing to embark on it as either a business or simple pastime.
