Synopsis

Blackwork is traditionally stitched in black thread on a white ground; here, Melanie Couffe introduces delicate shades of pink, blue, green, red, yellow, orange and purple to bring the technique into a more contemporary register. The book opens with guidance on the fabrics and threads she uses, followed by the essential stitches needed to work the designs.

Inside are 16 projects, ranging from practical pieces such as a mobile phone case and purse to decorative makes including a pinkeep and framed work. Each project is supported by step-by-step instructions, photographs and charts, with designs based on the four seasons. Suitable for embroiderers looking to add colour to their blackwork practice.
