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

Answered by ajamomma - Sat Mar 14 19:31:25 2009 Can I remove a question that I already resolved?
Q. I said something I really regret and I don't know how to take it back. It started when I got mad at this one nation. It seem like everyone I ever met from that country was so crewel, of course I didn't meet enough to judge and shouldn't have anyway. I'm very patriotic and when a group of these people insulted my country in the worst possible way I got so outraged at them all.

It wasn't till after I sent it and… [cont.] Asked by Lesxx - Tue Jul 7 19:30:32 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Nope.
