Tapestry embroidery

Tapestry embroidery

　　Tapestry embroidery, also known as "yarn embroidery," is a type of needlework where various scenes and patterns are embroidered using colored wool yarn on specially made open-weave linen fabric.

Tapestry embroidery is a handicraft created by embroidering colored wool yarn onto specially made open-weave linen fabric. Since the yarn itself does not reflect light and has a fuzzy texture, the finished piece appears rich and solemn, with vibrant colors, clear layers, lifelike imagery, and a unique style. Its basic stitches are the same as China’s traditional point-stitch technique (also known as "poked lace"). Using regular diagonal stitches, one stitch is made per mesh, with each stitch forming a small oval color block. A single tapestry embroidery piece may require anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of stitches. During the embroidery process, colors can be blended manually. It is especially effective at replicating the artistic effects of oil paintings, traditional Chinese ink paintings, and photography. The products are divided into two main categories: decorative art pieces and daily-use items.
