Candlewicking yarn is soft cotton and used in this embroidery technique where tufts are created on the surface and sewn on to a whole cloth, making a pattern on front and back. It is wonderful and one of the most laborious bed cover techniques ever (right up there with the Italian and French stuffed work). This piece you inherited is a perfect example of GORGEOUS!<br /><br />Hope you are well. I still check for your posts every Monday. We've missed your posts lately. Sorry about your auntie, alas.<br /><br />Rick (from Doopty-Do Dancing Quilts) rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897951421268647625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860794174259935422.post-12452665657994331562011-03-29T13:47:51.063-07:002011-03-29T13:47:51.063-07:00I wonder if it is Matelessa.
