Is there any reason you can't do crewel with cotton embroidery floss?
I have just started doing crewel and it seems to be going fine- I mean, not as fleshed out looking as true crewel but otherwise fine. I had to use what I had around the house, I have gone through my budget for this month.
Any suggestions of good sites with info about crewel sites? I really enjoy this art but I can't seem to find a lot of info about it.
yes you can use a full six strand embroidery floss and get just about the same effect, just take smaller stitch spaces and keep it even.
