Ricami a treccia di Savignano

In her book Antique and Modern Italian Embroidery, Elisa Ricci mentions many techniques born or reborn at the beginning of the 1900s. Arising from that, this book’s authors describe a very simple but impressive embroidery used in the Romagna region to decorate cattle and oxen blankets in local country expositions and fairs: Savignano braid embroidery.
Later this kind of ornament was used to decorate curtains, pillows and tablecloths. The book outlines the history, illustrates the stitches and offers a few projects.
