Crewel Embroidery, or Crewelwork, is a decorative form of surface embroidery using wool and a variety of different embroidery stitches to follow a design outline applied to the fabric. The technique is at least a thousand years old. It was used in the Bayeux Tapestry, in Jacobean embroidery and in the Quaker tapestry. The origin of the word crewel is unknown but is thought to come from an ancient word describing the curl in the staple, the single hair of the wool. Crewel wool has a long staple; it is fine and can be strongly twisted. Modern crewel wool is a fine, 2-ply or 1-ply yarn available in many different colours. From Wikipedia under the

In counted cross stitch, you count the threads on the fabric to determine where the threads intersect. At the intersection of the threads you place a cross stitch. No design is printed on the fabric. With crewel embroidery the outline of the design is printed on the fabric and a variety of different stitches are used to fill in the design. I hope this helps!
