Description
This happy little pair of blackwork mushrooms proves a real hit at workshops. Completed in Back stitch and Holbein stitch, this project offers a range of blackwork techniques. The design is completed on 25 count Zweigart evenweave and everything you need except a water soluble fabric marker and scissors is in the kit. Using a water soluble ink allows any visible lines to be easily removed once the design is complete by dabbing with a moistened cotton pad. Shading is achieved by the use of different thread grades and part stitches. Blackwork embroidery is very rewarding and therapeutic to stitch, it is very similar to cross stitch but works quite quickly and once you can see where you are going with the design, there is no need to keep looking at the chart, except to see where threads and stitches change.
