Recently at a historical reenactment event, I was asked what colors were historically accurate for silk thread on embroidery in the 16th century. Follow along as I review different colors used, as well as what colors were used on which items.
Blackwork embroidery is also known as double-running stitch or Holbein stitch. Historically, it was typically found as black silk thread embroidered on white linen in a reversible stitch. For more historical information (plus a step by step on how to begin) on blackwork embroidery, please visit: https://youtu.be/lcZsoB71XZQ 😀
