Crewel is the art of embroidering by hand with wool thread on linen fabric. Wool & Hoop offers a line of crewel embroidery kits featuring original designs by artist Katherine Shaughnessy. With crewelwork, there is no counting, no grids: just free-form embroidery. You'll enjoy learning all the crewel stitches - they're fun to master. Try crewelwork and discover how the lush wool threads sit up high on the rich linens to make your craft really "pop." Shaughnessy's book, The New Crewel, offers 30 of her original designs, 15 fun projects, and 16 classic embroidery stitches. We offer all the supplies you'll need right here at Wool & Hoop so that you can do projects from The New Crewel and/or designs of your own. And, it's true! Shaughnessy's new book, with 30 new designs, is finished and comes out in early June 2012. New kits to accompany the new book are under way. Stay tuned.....
