Known as “long and short,” “thread painting” or “silk shading,” this beautiful embroidery technique can be elusive and tricky, but greatly rewarding once mastered. This kit is designed to give you that mastery, whether when starting the stitch, feathering from one color to the next, or combining or splitting shapes. Slip into the Zen-like feel of the process as you gain confidence and stitch a beautiful design in wool embroidery yarn from the instructor’s sheep. You’ll also explore stitching on a decorative fabric (damask) with a muslin backing for stability. This class is designed for students who have taken Laura’s Wool Embroidery Level-2 course or intermediate experienced stitchers.

Kit includes:

• Damask, marked with design
• muslin fabric backing
• Wool yarn for your project
• Embroidery needle
• Paper stitch guide
• PDF download of detailed instructions with pictures

Additional Supplies you will want to have on hand for this project:

• Sharp thread scissors
• 8 inch embroidery hoop

Happy stitching!
