The History of Needlework
Needlework is a term applied to two classes of handcraft involving fabrics. The first, embroidery, is the embellishment of a fabric by designs worked in thread with a needle. The second includes methods of forming a single thread or strand of threads into a loose- or tight-textured fabric. The best known of these methods are knitting and crochet. Such methods are distinguished from lace making (see Lace), which is an elaborate form of plaiting or braiding. Read more about the history of needlework
