This is another in Yvette Stanton's series of detailed books on historical whitework styles, and very much lives up to the standard set by her other books.Friesland is an area of northern Holland (the Netherlands), which has a style of whitework similar to early style Hardanger from Norway. It dates from the early 1600s onwards, perhaps 100 years before Hardanger work started. It was used to decorate linens, both household and clothing, almost exclusively stitched in white on white. In addition there is an extensive range of samplers left by young girls learning their stitches.

About this product
Product Information
Delve into elegant Frisian whitework with historical whitework specialist, Yvette Stanton. From Friesland in the Netherlands, this is a style of counted embroidery dating from the 1600s. It was traditionally used on men's shirt collars, household linen, and samplers. Whitework is usually stitched in white thread on white fabric and most Frisian whitework is worked this way. However, this technique can also have touches of colour, and some samplers are worked entirely in coloured thread. Alphabets, figurative motifs and geometric shapes are common, and they are interpreted in a wide variety of stitches, such as satin stitch, eyelets, whipped back stitch, and chain stitch; some also with cutwork and drawn thread work. Explore how Frisian whitework featured on clothing and other textiles, and study the many photographs featuring historical examples. Yvette guides you though the stitches and techniques of Frisian whitework with clear step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams, ensuring you'll have the confidence and skills to master ten original projects, from small through to large, with a range of useful and beautiful applications. Praise for Frisian Whitework: 'I'm so excited about Yvette's new book on Frisian whitework! When it comes to learning and honing skills in specific (and sometimes obscure) embroidery techniques from around the world, Yvette is one of the best authors you'll find. Her newest offering is another gem in her ever-expanding crown of instructive embroidery books. From the unique history behind the techniques of Frisian whitework, to the detailed, clear instruction reinforced with pristine, gorgeous projects, this book does not disappoint! You're going to love it!' - Mary Corbet, www.needlenthread.comProduct Identifiers
