Knotwork embroidery, often known as crewelwork or Jacobean embroidery, has a history rooted in England during the Jacobean era (17th century). It's characterized by the use of various textured stitches, especially knots, to create elaborate and three-dimensional designs. These knots and stitches form intricate patterns, often inspired by nature, featuring flowers, vines, and animals. Knotwork embroidery typically uses wool thread on a linen or cotton fabric background, creating a rich and textured surface. It was historically used for embellishing clothing, cushions, and tapestries, and today, it continues to be cherished for its timeless beauty and traditional craftsmanship, adorning various textiles and decor items.
