Mountmellick Embroidery

Native to a community in Ireland, Mountmellick embroidery is a whitework tecnique not counted, but worked on a heavy white fabric with perle cotton or a heavier white thread such as DMC Coton a Broder®.  It usually depicts flora in a realistic and dimensional manner.  French knots and boullion knots are common.  Leaves are less realistic with fillings of a great variety of stitches.
