One of the loveliest aspects of crewelwork is that the stitches are so various! The Bayeux Tapestry is the oldest known example of crewel work dating back to 1077~ In the mid-1500s, Queen Elizabeth I, who was known as an accomplished stitcher, established an embroidery guild that established rules and standards for high-quality crewel work. From there, crewel became very popular in 17th-century England and its American colonies. Inspired by fabrics imported from India, the designs were dense, highly colorful and full of exotic flowers and trees, fanciful fauna and insects. Etsy Crewel 36M
