Abstract:
"In this fresh collection of botanical-inspired motifs, Yumiko Higuchi combines wool thread with cotton floss for a modern twist on embroidery. Wool thread creates fluffy, three-dimensional embroidery with a soft, warm texture. Because of its voluminous nature, wool thread stitches up quickly, allowing you to create bold embroidery designs with ease. The collection includes 24 stunning motifs featuring mushrooms, dandelions, poppies, pansies, butterflies, birds, and more, all stitched in vibrant, eye-catching colors. You'll also find instructions for simple projects that are perfect for showcasing your wool embroidery, such as pouches, trivets, pillows, tote bags, and headbands, as well as inspiring ideas for embellishing readymade goods like scarves, hats, and sweaters. Welcome to the wonderful world of wool!" -- Back cover.
