Blackwork Scissor Keep Start Stitching Kit
This kit was produced for the recent very popular Start Stitching Blackwork Scissor Keep workshop.
Blackwork embroidery, also known as "Spanish work," is a counted thread embroidery technique with origins in Northern Africa and brought to Spain by the Moors. It was introduced to England by Catherine of Aragon. It gained popularity in the Tudor period as an affordable and decorative alternative to lace.
Hundreds of patterns have been developed using a simple straight running stitch. The colour can be varied also to suit the whim of the stitcher!
The kit contains all the materials that you will need to stitch and complete the project and includes:
1. Fabric, thread and needles,
2. Small sharp scissors
3. Quality Embroidery Hoop,
4. Full Instructions and photo.
