A timeless companion for hands that create and minds that admire. This is the encyclopedia you reach for when needlework speaks in both memory and possibility.
Encyclopedia Of Needlework reveals Thérèse de Dillmont's lucid, era-defining craft manual as a living guide-an illustrated embroidery guide and embroidery stitches guide rolled into one trusted reference. It speaks to home crafters hobbyists seeking direction, and to beginners and advanced crafters alike, offering lace making techniques, textile ornament patterns, and practical steps that demystify stitches, seams, and finishes with calm precision. More than a how-to, the volume reads like a courteous friend-reassuring, exacting, and alive with the rhythm of turn of the century europe.
Historically significant and artistically resonant, this work stands as a pillar of traditional textile crafts and a beacon of historical craft literature. Its presence in modern shelves honours a Vienna turn of century sensibility-an era when embroidery was a language of everyday beauty and quiet mastery.
Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. Not merely a reprint, but a collector's item and a cultural treasure-bridging lively pastimes with enduring craft philosophy, for readers who relish both the practical and the poetic in needlework.
