“Embroidery on Knits” by Judit Gummlich

German artist Judit Gummlich, who describes herself as an “embroiderer, knitter, seamstress, beekeeper, catlady, book eater, gardener”, is the author of this hardcover book which, if it weren’t so instructive, would serve perfectly as a decorative coffee table book. An experienced and dedicated knitter, she guides us through the art of embroidery, impressing us with her technical know-how and ingenuity. Her taste for subdued colors and simple, organic patterns stands out as you turn each page.

It’s a detailed guide that follows each stage of the creative process through to completion, giving us 18 unique patterns so you can start customizing your knitwear right away. As well as the familiar techniques with wool yarn, he shows us other more daring techniques, such as embroidering with silk ribbons.

Take up the challenge and buy one of our exclusive sets of wool yarns (Eco Color Packs) and special needles for embroidering with wool or ribbons.
