BLACKWORK
PEACOCK Kit of
the Month
The blackwork
peacock is an intermediate blackwork kit.
The Peacock
design is worked in blackwork patterns on a 32 count fabric using
DMC floss, No. 12 Pearl Cotton and Kreinik Metallic #4 Braid.
Working the embroidery: The blackwork
embroidery is worked within a tacked outline of the
design with a variety of different blackwork stitches.
A three dimensional picture is created by changing the thickness
of the thread and by reducing the
stitches in the pattern. I have introduced Kreinik
Metallic threads to highlight the beautiful metallic colours of a
peacock. A large chart is included with the instruction booklet as a
reference tool but the embroidery is worked in the Tissue
Paper Transfer Method.
The patterns are stitched from step-by-step individual diagrams and
there are detailed instructions on how to work the embroidery.
I
am offering free correspondence and free on going critique for this
kit, for more details go to - Free
on going critique.
There
is a choice of fabrics to work the blackwork design:
-
32
count antique white Monika fabric (50% cotton and 50% Modal). The
fabric has even weave threads (all threads are the same thickness)
and is soft and smooth to the touch. The patterns come out more even
on the even weave fabric compared to the linen fabric.
-
32
count antique white Belfast 100% Linen fabric with uneven weave
threads (different thicknesses) giving a natural look.
