crewelwork

With the hands that had never handled anything rougher than crewelwork she chose her grip along the tough ladder of looped lianas.

These were wrought with borders of crewelwork, and finished with elaborate thread and crewel fringes.

It was owing to various reasons that outline embroidery largely took the place of solid crewelwork.

The familiar crewelwork of England was the form of needlework which became popular.

Crewelwork of the period was not given to hangings and furniture, but to clothing.
