Harlequin is a study in black and white. Harlequin teaches the basics of blackwork, both reversible and non-reversible. The whitework is a combination of stitches and techniques from Ukrainian Whitework and Pulled Thread work. The ground fabric is 28...see more-count linen and the threads used are two sizes of pearl cotton and stranded floss. The diamond shaped grid is worked as prework and will take approximately 10 to 12 hours. Harlequin's stitched area measures 6.5" by 11.5" and is best enjoyed by an intermediate level needleworker. Stitches included are blackwork, reversible blackwork, satin, double cable, pulled double cable, faggot, various types of eyelets, and smyrna cross. see less
