		Drawn to this house by the impossible intensity of the light - made up of countless tiny pink and yellow threads - the first instinct is that something suspicious is happening within.
		Breaking down the composition to the barest colour-field essentials, he sketches in the details with delicate stitch work: thick wool standing in for tree bark, fine silk threads tracing the enmeshed patterns of the distant trees, the shimmering ripples in the stream.
		From the blank suggestion of the grey ground, tangled threads ‘grow' as if by their own accord and the wood tile is conspicuous by its ready-made sourcing.

		Threads to be removed are always cut at the edges of kloster blocks; the satin stitches should be parallel to the threads cut.

	Pulled Thread Embroidery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)

		Pulled Thread is considered to have originated in the 17th century and early samplers of the period contain bands of Pulled Thread work.

	phorum - Hand Sewing - Re: repairing drawn thread work?
		Some of the threads are actually missing, and what is there looks a little bit like embroidery threads, so I'm a bit confused.
		The drawn thread work I am familiar with has been done on cotton or linen fabric with a similar thread for the hemstitching and decorative stitches.
		I also used the fine thread to repair the drawn thread work, and simply doubled the thread, and then wrapped it a few times.

	West Kingdom Needleworkers Guild: Articles
		During the first half of the 16th century, the major forms of whitework (drawn-thread, pulled thread, insertion stitches, counted stitches such as satin and brick stitches) were all used to decorate personal linens more and more frequently, and this leads directly to the development of needle laces.
		Figures are drawn on the ground fabric, and are filled with tiny allover geometric patterns in counted satin stitch or brick stitch.
		It is most frequently worked in geometric patterns, and may or may not be combined with drawn thread and cutwork techniques.

	Selvage
		The threads placed on the loom first are called the "warp" threads and run from the weaver's body away from it.
		The weft threads, by contrast, are "stretchier" because they had to go over and under the warp threads, across the width of the fabric.
		If the weft threads are the ones running top-to-bottom, their ever-so-slightly longer length will allow you to do the bundling without disturbing the "normal" threads on each side of the window.
