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!

These are beautiful needles, lovely to hold and use for Sashiko stitching. Beautifully packaged too with a little note inside about how they are made.
Lovely thread which is perfect for the job it was bought for, namely Sashiko stitching. This was my first time doing this sort of stitching and I found this thread perfect…it gives a really lovely finish. Can be used as a single thread or doubled up.
Thank you Grace! A lovely item to look at and an item that will be well used!!!
