AlbakiReads Editorial A project-based introduction to traditional crewel embroidery
A project-based introduction to traditional crewel embroidery
Jane Rainbow organizes this introduction around practical projects that begin with four stitches and expand skill by skill. Step-by-step photographs demonstrate the working process, while line drawings clarify each design and its stitch placement. Alongside stitch instruction, the book addresses the often separate challenge of preparing, stretching, mounting, and finishing an embroidery. Its traditional floral designs, worked in wool and soft colours, draw on Tudor-era embroidery for their visual reference. With 64 pages of guided instruction, it offers a structured route from a first completed piece to a broader working vocabulary in crewelwork.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Beginning embroiderers seeking guided projects and stitch-by-stitch instruction
- Crafters interested in traditional wool crewelwork and floral motifs
- Embroiderers wanting help with mounting and finishing their work

Starting with just four of these stitches, Jane clearly demonstrates, with detailed step-by-step photographs, how to work up a complete project. Instructions follow on showing how to stretch and mount your first embroidery. Using further projects she helps you build up skills, introducing new stitches in each section. Line drawings accompany each design and are used as a guide for the stitches. The designs and colours used are traditional - reminiscent of the embroidery worked by embroiderers during the Tudor period, wonderful floral pictures worked in wool and soft colours.
The book is a comprehensive introduction to this lovely technique and at the same time it offers embroiderers practical help with presentation and finishing.
