Description
Tvistsom is a particularly attractive form of folk embroidery that has been practiced in Sweden since the seventeenth century. Worked in long-arm cross stitch, Tvistsom has a texture and tightness that make it both extremely durable and highly functional.
This clear, easy-to-follow manual with 46 foolproof charted designs tells you everything you need to know to get started with your own Tvistsom project: color schemes; selecting materials; texturing techniques; how to achieve "tweeding" and computing the finished size. Plus an interesting historical background of this lovely and rapidly growing form of folk embroidery.
