Frisian whitework : Dutch embroidery from FrieslandEntry/Object ID
TT778.W55.S73 Description
"From Friesland in the Netherlands, this is a style of counted embroidery dating from the 1600s, traditionally used on men's shirt collars, on household linen, and on samplers. The style is known as Frisian whitework, but there can be touches of color, and some samplers are worked fully in color. Alphabets, figurative motifs and geometric shapes are common, and they are interpreted in a wide variety of stitches, such as satin stitch, eyelets, whipped back stitch, and chain stitch; some also with cutwork and drawn thread work."Lexicon
