NEEDLEPOINT
Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery in which yarn is stitched
through a stiff open weave canvas. Most needlepoint designs completely cover
the canvas.
Although needlepoint may be worked in a variety of stitches, many
needlepoint designs use only a simple tent stitch and rely upon color changes
in the yarn to construct the pattern.
The degree of detail in needlepoint depends on the thread count of the
underlying mesh fabric. Needlepoint worked on fine canvas is known as petit
point. Due to the inherent stiffness of needlepoint, common uses include
eyeglass cases, holiday ornaments, pillows, purses, upholstery, and wall
hangings
Picture entry must be framed and include a hook or wire for hanging.
