HEDEBØ: Traditional Danish white embroidery | ＨＥＤＥＢＯ　デンマーク伝統の白糸刺繍

Hedebo embroidery is a traditional Danish whitework embroidery. Its designs are created using a single white thread, combining countwork, which counts the number of threads stitched into linen fabric, pulled thread work, which removes threads, and cutwork, which cuts into the fabric. The openwork designs resemble lace, making them increasingly popular among embroidery enthusiasts. This definitive guide is written by an author who discovered this style of embroidery while studying abroad in Denmark, and has continued to explore it by visiting various parts of Denmark countless times. Beginning with an explanation of materials and tools, the book carefully explains six basic techniques and eight types of border stitching, complete with step-by-step photographs. It also features 32 delicate and elegant projects for making a variety of items, including doilies, basket covers, pincushions, and ring pillows. A removable 32-page pattern booklet is also included.
