Il Punto Bargello

Born in Italy in the sixteenth century, the Bargello stitch is a counted thread embroidery type of stitch based on the repetition of characteristic geometric patterns and the use of bright colors. Dusted off in the sixties and seventies of the last century, today it is trending again thanks to the attention of designers who have captured its aesthetics. With its simple technique, you can create wavy motifs of great effect in delicate or brighter colors. Ideal for decorating cushions, bags and belts, but also for wall decorations and panels. This book presents a new collection of 40 designs, sorted by level of difficulty, each one revisiting this timeless embroidery stitch in a contemporary way. Sisters Laura and Lynsey Angell give a brief history of the technique, as well as advice on the tools and materials to be used. A fantastic review of patterns is also included, complete with pictures and easy-to-follow charts. In addition to explaining how to mix the various textures and finish the works with elegant edges and borders, the authors also offer valuable advice for using alternative and original yarns for an even more unique touch.
