Needful Needlework of the Day

Good Morning Ladies and Gents!

Today being the day before Independence Day here in the USA I will post a lovely stitch for you to learn. It’s Historic and was used by Elizabethan Englanders to decorate everything they could get it sewn on. Mostly in metallic passing threads of gold and silver, sometimes it was done in silk threads as well. Don’t believe me? ask the V&A Museum about some of their coifs.

here’s the link to learn it. https://trc-leiden.nl/trc-needles/techniques/embroidery/embroidery-stitches/plaited-braid-stitch
