What reading level is Art in Needlework book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The material is used again inthe wreath on Illustration 76. It is worked there in chain-stitch withthe tambour needle: it may also be worked in satin-stitch; but the moreobvious way of using it is to couch it, cord by cord, with fine silkthread. There is this against chenille, that its texture is notsympathetic to the touch, and that there is a stuffy look about italways. Nor does it seem ever quite to belong to the smooth satin groundon which it is worked.
[Sidenote: RIBBON. ] [Sidenote: SHADE...D SILK. ] There is less objection to embroidery in ribbon, which also had its dayin the 18th century. It was very much the fashion for court dressesunder Louis Seize--"_Broderie de faveur_, " as it was called, whence our"lady's favour"--_faveur_ being a narrow ribbon. Some beautiful work ofits kind was done in ribbon, sometimes _shaded_. Shaded silk, by theway, may be used to artistic purpose. There is, for example, in thetreasury of Seville Cathedral a piece of work on velvet, 13th century, it is said, rather Persian in character, in which the forms of certainnondescript animals are at first sight puzzlingly prismatic in colour.
