G02-Goldwork Pendant

Hardanger, Blackwork, Pulled and Drawn Thread and Samplers are needlework techniques that are worked on evenweave fabrics in which the threads are counted and the designs worked from a graph.  These are sometimes grouped as counted thread techniques.  

Stumpwork, Goldwork, Brazilian Embroidery and Mountmellick Embroidery are worked on a background fabric where counting threads is not required. The design is marked on the background fabric from a pattern.  

Beads can be found everywhere; worked into most types of needlework, on their own beaded together with off-loom stitches such as Peyote Stitch Beading and onto fabric as Bead Embroidery.  

Complete directions are included with graphs and/or patterns, stitch diagrams, comprehensive text and clear close-up color photos.  Each design is available as a packet of directions (chart pack) or a kit that also contains fabric, threads, beads, etc. to complete the design. Frames, boxes hardware and finishing supplies are not included in the kits.
