Crewel Embroidery for Beginners: An Introduction of the Ancient Craft of Needlework

Despite how its name sounds, there's nothing mean about crewel, a form of surface embroidery. This traditional embroidery style goes back centuries and is known for its large, bold designs and the wool threads used to make them.

In days gone by, crewel showed up on tapestries, curtains, and even clothing. More recently, you might see this type of embroidery framed as art, stitched onto pillows, and more.
