The Bargello Book (HC) by Frances Salter

Bargello, also known as Florentine work, dates from the 17th century and is a canvaswork craft worked in wools or silks. It is characterized by parallel lines of straight stitches in 'wave', 'flame' or similar formations. Part of the beauty of bargello lies in the simplicity of the stitch. The repeat patterns build into stunning designs which often have a three-dimensional effect. This book includes 34 stitch patterns, incorporating color photographs, charts and instructions, providing a mixture of traditional and contemporary designs to suit all tastes.
