Redwork

Redwork is a form of counted thread embroidery that uses a red thread (usually silk or cotton) on a white cloth background. It is usually carried out in a double running stitch (Holbein stitch), but other stitches are possible. The patterns produced tend to be geometrical or stylised figurative and floral forms.
