Happy shopping!
I love historical needlework and have always found loads of colour contrasts irresistible. Bargello is the perfect way to quickly add striking details to textile whilst at the same time creating softness with colour shading. I love that this stitch has such old roots and can be applied to use up yarn.

Full description
The first in a new range of Bargello Design kits.
Bargello Jewels uses a rich colour theme in a curving geometric pattern. Sewn over several threads, Bargello Embroidery builds quickly using a simple straight stitch. Rocaille beads are added at the end for extra sparkle.
The name Bargello originates from a series of chairs found in the Bargello palace in Florence, which have a "flame stitch" pattern. It is thought that the embroidery style actually originates in Eastern Europe, where all sorts of Geometric designs were created.
It was a craze in the 1970's to stitch only the flame patterns in extraordinary colour combinations.
Quite mesmerising patterns can be created and repeated over again. With different patterns forming over a sequence of colour changes.
Traditional designs are very colourful, and use many hues of one colour, which produces intricate shading effects. It's fun to use a few repeating shapes to represent trees or flowers. Different shapes can be seen depending on how you look!
This design can be a cushion, bag front or picture.
