#40: Blackwork Embroidery for Collar and Cuffs

collarcuffs

This time I have worked a blackwork collar and cuffs set for the Kingdom of Lochac Royal Largesse box.

The blackwork was worked with two strands of Cascade House silk on 36 count antique white Edinburgh linen, and the design was adapted from a pattern in the Jane Bostocke sampler, 1598.

This is the first time that I have tried Cascade House Stranded Silk and it is a delight to work with. I’ll certainly be using this thread again.
