In this fresh collection of botanical-inspired motifs, Yumiko Higuchi combines wool thread with cotton floss for a modern twist on embroidery.
Wool thread creates fluffy, three-dimensional embroidery with a soft, warm texture. Because of its voluminous nature, wool thread stitches up quickly, allowing you to create bold embroidery designs with ease.
The collection includes 24 stunning motifs featuring mushrooms, dandelions, poppies, pansies, butterflies, birds, and more, all stitched in vibrant, eye-catching colours. You’ll also find instructions for simple projects that are perfect for showcasing your wool embroidery.
Paperback, size 210mm x 260mm

Well, I didn't really *need* another book by her... But I'm delighted and enthused by her designs and will be embellishing my mends and darns with several of these beautiful botanical patterns. Her style is timeless, both classic and modern.
Its always a treat when a Yumiko Higuchi book is published in English. And even better when its stocked "locally" - ie, in the UK. Simply Stitched with Wool is another collection of lovely designs I had no hesitation in adding to my Yumiko book collection. As usual the first half of the book contains beautifully photographed embroidered projects followed by pages of advice, instructions and clear full size patterns to trace or copy. As indicated by the title these designs have been embroidered in tapestry wool and cotton floss but they are just as well suited to embroidery silks.
Its just so hard to choose which to go for first. Oh but I do love the marigolds!

I have a box of the 40m cards and like to refill it when I am running one low. I also buy the larger hanks for my favourite colours. They are excellent quality, sew beautifully in my sashiko work and the colours do not run when washed. They are the best.
I love pretty much anything published by Laine, they have outdone themselves with this issue however.
Immediately on flicking through I bookmarked three 'must knits' and really enjoyed the article on Satu Rämö too ( if you've not read her novels now is a very good time to start).
Really enjoying this card deck, is helping improve my granny square skills. Instructions are clear, easy and fun!
These are the most beautiful Cohana sciossors I now have in my collection! The colour of a camelia blooming in the snow with the white leather case and silver sparkly star is the most beautiful of them all!
I have used a few of these threads for my sashiko and pleased every time with the results . Although fine , even using them single stranded , the colours pop out against the fabric. They feel so smooth when stitching with them . They arrived quickly too.
