The legacy of needlework is preserved in museums and historical
societies around the world. While many institutions have several items
on display, and still others available to study upon request, there are
also organizations that have just one or two gems in their possession.
Each of these is equally as important in protecting the rich history of
needlework.
PieceWork’s Collections Issue takes you inside six private
textile and needlework collections—some of which came about entirely by
accident like Nancy Bush’s collection of handknitted Estonian lace
shawls and scarves. You’ll read about historical tools from knitting
sheaths and 19th-century crochet hooks to the under-appreciated doily.
Barbara Smith and Angharad Thomas reveal the wonders inside the U. K.
Knitting & Crochet Guild’s extensive collection of textiles,
patterns, tools, and gadgets. And you’ll have plenty to knit and crochet
with six projects, including a lace scarf, a tea cozy, stunning knitted
and embroidered gauntlet gloves, and more! Download your copy of PieceWork’s Collections Issue today and explore the extensive heritage of needlework.
