EMBROIDERY

What is embroidery?

Embroidery is the ancient art of decorating a cloth with a needle and thread. As much as we can judge from the conservation of antique textiles, humans have been embellishing clothing, household laundry and all sorts of accessories and home goods for many, many centuries. Since the beginning of the 20th century, embroidery in all forms has become a hobby, largely grouped under the antiquated term fancy work. This generic term covers a wide range of techniques: cross stitch, tapestry or needlepoint, ‘traditional’ embroidery which in itself regroups an infinite number of stitches and techniques, white work – which is tending more and more towards colours, as well as the exquisite Luneville embroidery with sequins and pearls.
On this site you will find all sorts of inspirations for embroidery projects: our famous Retors du Nord embroidery floss, Laine Saint-Pierre, Tonkin thread, the superb Museums and Heritage collection of embroideries, the Sajou albums, all our La Fontaine and Perrault counted cross stitch charts, our vintage samplers, our floral motifs, Aida and linen tea towels, tapestry kits, wooden embroidery hoops, a wide selection of needles.
