A map of the United Kingdom and Ireland with different blackwork patterns to represent the different countries.

Great as an introduction to embroidery Blackwork for beginners!

Blackwork is a counted thread embroidery technique, using repetitive patterns to fill a design area.

Blackwork embroidery is generally created using black thread, hence the name. However, any colour of thread can be used to create these fabulous patterns.

Embroidery is a great task to occupy the hands and leaves time for the crafter to relax the mind and concentrate on creating something beautiful.
