Bargello for Beginners

Discover the bold, rhythmic beauty of bargello, a vintage needlecraft technique known for its flowing geometric patterns and vibrant color play. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of bargello using tapestry wool and plastic aida canvas. By the end, you’ll transform your stitched panel into a small round trinket tray, learning exactly how to shape and join plastic canvas for a sturdy, functional finish. This is a perfect first step into the world of bargello, an eye-catching, meditative, and delightfully easy needle craft once you understand the basics.
