DMC Library
Hardanger Embroideries
1st Series
Editions Th. de Dillmont
Mulhouse (France) |
This is a PDF Digital
Reproduction of the first in a series of pattern books,
known as the DMC Library, with 58 pages. Hardanger is a region of Norway where this form of
embroidery originated. Stitches are worked in a pattern and the centre
portion of fabric is cut away.
It is usually worked
with white thread on white
fabric. Special Hardanger canvas can be used, or linen.
"The Hardanger embroideries are mostly worked in white on white; the patterns re
formed almost entirely of more or less elaborate openwork; they are completed by
little secondary motifs, worked
in close or raised embroidery."
The first chapter in this book, entitled "Instructions for working" explains
materials used, basic rules
for this type of embroidery and pictures plus explanations for the different
stitches and motifs used in the patterns throughout the book. This is
designed as a series of templates for those experienced in hardanger embroidery.
This chapter is followed by 9 chapters, each with a full-page picture of the
completed items plus enlargements of the detailing of the patterns plus
instructions for completion.
