Blackwork, Whitework, Crewelwork, Its not what you think
Well, this title sounds like work for different types of people!
Blackwork, whitework, crewelwork and stumpwork. These terms are actually referencing types of embroidery. Yes, thats right, embroidery. Just thought embroidery was a needle and thread and some stitching? What is embroidery? Glad you asked!
Embroidery is an ancient craft. Used for many years strictly for ornamental purposes. Embroidery was once made with course cloth and a bone needle. It has grown into a favorite past time of many crafters today. One of its most well known uses has been on beautiful silk robes worn by Chinese royalty.
This is a beautiful craft and I encourage you to explore and learn this creative endevour.
