Dutch embroidery
Nov. 7th, 2008 03:11 pmI've picked up a thread on Dutch embroidery from the Isle of Marken. And it's apparent relationship to the Dutch settlers imported to the Isle of Amager by Christian II of Denmark. Apparently the museum there has textiles on exhibit. But - the whole website is in Danish.
*head desk, head desk*
Hopefully the Dutch embroidery expert I contacted will have some good leads for me.
I think I'm on the track of the emergence of embroidery with indigo thread on white linen as a variation on German whitework - especially the very square-dominated variety that evolved into Hebedo. But maybe not. *sigh*
