About Blackwork Embroidery
Blackwork embroidery is a traditional counted-thread technique that uses repeating geometric stitch patterns to create texture, shading and intricate detail. Traditionally worked in black thread on white fabric, modern blackwork often incorporates colour and contemporary design.
At The Blackwork Company, we reinterpret this historic technique through modern designs inspired by wildlife, birds, steam locomotives, lighthouses and nature.
