blackwork

Discover our collection of Blackwork embroidery patterns to download, a traditional embroidery technique that plays with lines, geometric patterns, and filling effects to create particularly elegant works.

Originally mainly done in black thread, Blackwork today lends itself to many interpretations. It can be embroidered in a single color or in Colorwork, with several shades to add depth, relief, and modernity to the patterns.

In this category, you will find different patterns: geometric patterns, optical illusion effects, mashrabiyas, hearts, alphabet samplers, tile-inspired patterns, and other decorative compositions.

The patterns are offered in the form of PDF files to download, including the diagrams necessary for their realization. They can notably be embroidered with DMC stranded cotton or, depending on the patterns, with Soie d’Alger Au Ver à Soie® to achieve a particularly fine and luminous result.

A collection aimed at enthusiasts of traditional embroidery as well as embroiderers wishing to discover a graphic, precise, and creative technique.

Digital patterns for download only. Supplies are not included.
