Hand Dyed Crewel Wool
Elizabethan Range

Our 100% Merino Crewel Wool is hand dyed with natural mordants already in use in the 17th Century! The range only consists of colors actually available to 17th - 19th C. dyers.

You receive brillant, bright colors so very much different from modern dull cemically dyed products. Also the shades in this hand dyed yarn range are subtle colours which often contain more than one tone.

Different shades of this fine crewel yarn can be mixed together giving a unique vibrancy to your work, whether it be crewel embroidery, cross-stitch, tapestry, needlepoint, free style embroidery, lace knitting or weaving. As the hand dyed yarn is spun from long strands of lambs-wool it is strong but has a soft handle and a gentle sheen, adding an individual touch to your embroidery work.

Elizabethan Range = 27 shades à 25 m    EURO 35.00
