Crewel Embroidery




The word crewel comes from an ancient word describing the curl in the staple, the single hair of the wool. Crewel Wool has a long staple; it is fine and can be strongly twisted.

The crewel technique is not a Counted-thread Embroidery (like Canvas Work ), but a style of Free Embroidery .
