Flower embroidery is most often used to decorate warm clothing. Along with beauty, this decor makes things original. Especially if wool is used for embroidery. Unlike traditional floss threads, it looks more picturesque and natural.
Embroidery with wool threads is great not only for decorating clothes, but also for creating decorative interior details.
For example, using this method you can create a beautiful picture or transform a bedspread.
What techniques can wool be used in?
There are several options for embroidery with this material. Wool is used in several techniques. Let's look at each method in more detail.
- Smooth surface. An image is drawn on the material. Then the contours of the figure are filled with dense stitches.
- Cross. This method is named after the appearance of the stitch, which is obtained by crossing threads.
- Volume variation. Typically this method is performed using a special grid: canvas. It is applied over the canvas and removed after finishing the work.
When finished, it has a highly convex pattern.
- Rococo. Flowers are obtained by entwining a needle with thread and then pinning the resulting workpiece to the material.

To do this, cut threads of the same length from yellow yarn. Then, folding the fibers into a bundle, sew them center-wise to the fabric. Next, fold it in half from the sewing point and, stepping back a little, intercept it with another seam. Cover this area with dense stitches using green thread. Align the fibers of the top.
