Insights
Needle painting, also known as thread painting or silk shading, is a form of embroidery that creates a realistic, lifelike effect using a single strand of thread and one simple stitch – the ‘long and short’ stitch. You can create gorgeous colour gradients, magical details, and flowing stitch directions that are perfect if you want to embroider flora and fauna.
