Kreinik Needlepoint/Canvas Work Thread
Needlepoint/Canvas work Needlepoint is a stitchery technique in which
you embroider on a canvas mesh to actually create a fabric. The
technique has been practiced for centuries, creating cushions,
tapestries, garments, and more. It is truly one of the most expressive
and creative art forms, as a wide range of stitches and thread types can
be used to create visually exciting textures and dimensions. Whether
working on a painted canvas or on a charted design, each stitcher can
apply their own choice of threads and stitches to create their unique
interpretation of the design.
The Kreinik threads listed at right can be used for numerous
effects in needlepoint and canvas work. There's a size, color
and texture for every need, from fine details to background work
and filling stitches. We want your tactile stitching experience
to be enjoyable and your finished product to be stunning and of
heirloom quality. Thus we proudly offer threads of high quality
in an extensive palette of sizes and colors.
There are terrific books available in needlework stores that
recommend which Kreinik threads to use for varied stitches. As a
general guide, use Kreinik metallic threads in motifs that are
naturally light-reflective. For example, use metallics for snow,
water, patent-leather shoes, fish, scissors, window lights, belt
buckles, rings, candlelights, butterflies, hummingbirds, and
more. You can also use them just to dress up any design,
introduce the element of light, or add a festive quality.
