Blackwork Embroidery is normally simply referred to as "Blackwork".

It is a simple form of embroidery, using black thread on white or off-white fabric.

Technique


Blackwork is usually executed on even-weave fabric that is easily countable. Any black thread can be used, but firmly twisted threads of any material give a better look than embroidery floss. Sometimes metallic threads or coloured threads are used for accents. Related embroidery forms are Whitework, which uses white thread and Scarletwork, which uses red thread. The stitches used are double running stitch (which is also called holbein stitch or backstitch) and sometimes stem stitch.
