Hindeloopen Sampler from AD 1701
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam holds a remarkable sampler (acc. no. BK-NM-9987). It dates to the early eighteenth century and was made in the small town of Hindeloopen in Friesland, in the north of The Netherlands. The ground material is made of linen, while the embroidery is made with silk, using Algerian eyelet, back stitch, cross stitch, double running stitch, hem stitch and staying stitch.
