The use of exquisite, space-dyed threads as an effective way to spice up embroidery projects takes center stage in this assortment of design templates, step-by-step instructions, and lavish illustrations for embroiderers of all ages and skill levels. Styles that work particularly well with these threads have been chosen for the projects, from the opulence of goldwork to the simplicity of ribbon embroidery. An introductory section outlines the specific uses of space-dyed threads and the techniques involved, while subsequent chapters focus on the most popular styles, including blackwork, casalguide, freestyle, stumpwork, and hardanger. Each completed project is fully photographed and includes several alternatives and additional stitched pieces to inspire the creation of fresh, original works.
