Description
Drawn thread work is a form of decorative embroidery that has been practised for many centuries. Traditionally worked on fine linen, it achieves its effect through the contrast of open and closed areas created by removing threads from the fabric. In this study, the author has borne in mind the traditional aspects of the craft, but also pays attention to the exciting and experimental innovations of recent years.

Not a pattern book, but very good instructions for a wide variety of styles of Drawn thread work. The chapter on experimental work is very good. I would have liked to see some of the pictures in colour. That lack is the strongest sign that this is a reprint, and not a new book.
