This style of embroidery is called Punt’e Nù, and is from Sardinia, off the coast of Italy. It is a really unusual style of embroidery, in that it is made from hundreds (thousands?) of tiny knots worked on the surface of the embroidery. That makes it really textural and really quite unique.
Shown is the candle wrap project from the book. The wrap could go around a candle as shown here, around a glass with a tealight, or around a vase.
“Sardinian Knotted Embroidery” by Yvette Stanton teaches you how to create this style of embroidery, with the clear step-by-step instructions you expect from Yvette. With many photos of historical examples, you will learn about the motifs and the style, and how it was and still is traditionally used as part of the culture of Teulada, the town where it originates.
