Candlewick or whitework is an embroidery technique using white thread on white fabric; hence the alternate name, whitework. Large knots, known as the colonial knot, are embroidered using heavy thread such as Perle cotton or crochet yarn. The fabric is most often heavy weight cotton or linen embroidery fabric. Candlewicking was often found on bedspreads or pillows. This type of embroidery is easy to learn and quick to stitch. Fast tracked shipping from Canada.
