Needlepoint
is a form of canvas work embroidery, in which yarn
is stitched through a open weave canvas vertical and
horizontal threads are formed to make precise holes
between the thread and then hand painted or printed
with a design. Stitchers use different coloured Yarn
or thread to cover each area with the correspoding
colour on the canvas. Unlike surface embroidery, the
types of stitching and threads used on the canvas
make it more durable than embroidery that using fine
count aida. Needlepoint worked on very fine (high-count)
canvas and has 16 or more mesh holes per liner inch
is called petit-point. Needlepoint is often referred
to as "tapestry", but differs from true
tapestry which is woven on a vertical loom rather
than stiched on canvas mesh. Finished works may be
made into pillows or upholstery, or may be displayed
on the wall, framed or unframed, or made into holiday
ornaments, purses, stuffed stand-up figures, or rugs.
