Needlepoint is a type of canvas work, a form of counted thread embroidery in which yarn is stitched through a stiff open weave canvas.Traditionally needlepoint designs completely cover the canvas. Although needlepoint may be worked in a variety of stitches, many needlepoint designs use only a simple tent stitch and rely upon color changes in the yarn to construct the pattern.
With needlepointing, the artwork is already painted onto the canvas before you begin. One of my favorite needlepoint shops is in NYC on the Upper East side called Woolworks on East 81st Street. They do custom canvases and have a variety of choices to select. If you purchase a canvas with them, the wool is handpicked and comes with your needlepoint.
