	Berlin wool work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Berlin wool work patterns in colour were first published in Berlin, Germany, early in the 19th century.
		The popularity of Berlin work was largely due to the fact that, for the first time in history, a fairly large number of women had leisure time to devote to needlework.
		Later in the 19th century, Berlin work was superseded by William Morris and his Arts and Crafts movement.

		Work on the other side of the chain the same pattern, only the reverse way; then 3 double in the point of the leaf thus formed, and edge the whole leaf with a round of double stitches, always working 2 double in each stitch of the preceding row, and 3 in the long treble stitch.
		Work 3 similar leaves close to this 1st leaf, but instead of working the 1st purl, fasten them on to the last purl of the preceding leaf; besides this, instead of [Illustration: 55.--Tatted Collar.] working the last purl of the 4th branch, fasten it on to the first purl of the 1st branch.
		Work first the round of circles which incloses the leaves, overlapping each other in the centre; begin with the smallest circle, which is at the top of the pattern; it consists of 3 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 3 double.

	ANG: American Needlepoint Guild - Berlin Work by Pat Berman
		Berlin Wool Work, as we know it today, was developed in Germany in the 19th century for the amateur stitcher, based on hand-painted charts of Cross Stitch patterns that were worked with a very soft wool that was spun in the city of Saxe-Gotha, located in the central German region of Thuringia.
		Eventually, Berlin wool was produced in Yorkshire by blending German and English wool.
		Another style of needlework that became popular around 1840 was “canvas lace work,” in which the embroiderer imitated fl lace by doing the open net groundwork of the lace pattern in fl silk with the heavier parts of the pattern stitched in a thicker silk or the 4-ply Berlin Wool.

		Work the same number of squares, as in the engraving, by commencing on one stitch, and increasing one at the end of every row till you get sufficient length of one side; and then decrease one at the end of every row by taking two loops into one.
		Work a chain all round, catching up the points of the flowers at regular intervals, and then work two rounds of s.c., with three stitches in one at the points.
		It is worked backwards and forwards thus: the top of a row of crochet, whether s.c., d.c., or t.c., presents an appearance of chain stitch; in working ribbed crochet, take up always that side of the chain which is furthest from you.

	Needlepoint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Berlin work, starting approximately in the 1850s, became extremely popular in the 1870s, when a colorful graph was all that was needed to create a picture, and less creativity is in evidence since then.
		Anyone could use a graph, and the choice of wool shades was only dictated by the number on hand, and many women gathered together to sew and compare, sharing the different shades that were available to them.
		Not only were these lovely works hung on the walls, but many of them were used as cushions, bell pulls, (oh, to have a servant to call with one pull!), upholstery for furniture, fire screens, benches and footstool tops.

		If you are going to work on white, paint out the white canvas with a pastel or yellow acrylic to help you see the canvas against the white background.
		If you are working on a wool background, moistening the canvas but not soaking it should not harm or shrink the wool background.
		Work the stitch pattern twice with a little space in between; cut the blue line waste canvas only in the space between, moisten the right side only and remove the canvas and you will have examples like those pictured following this article.

		Sometimes different wool threads, metallic threads or other specialty threads are used, sometimes for the whole work, sometimes for accents and embellishments.
