Needlepoint

 

Needlepoint, also known as canvas work, is a type of embroidery that involves stitching designs on an open-weave canvas fabric using a needle and threads of various colors. The canvas is typically made of even-weave fabric with a grid of holes that guide the placement of stitches. Needlepoint stitches can vary from simple tent stitches to more complex stitches like petit point and bargello. The technique allows for creating intricate and detailed designs, often used in creating decorative pillows, wall hangings, and upholstery.
