The amazing health benefits of practicing embroidery

  • Lowers blood pressure

    Embroidery calms the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and contributes to lower blood pressure, reducing stress for improved well-being.

  • Regulates breath

    Engaging in embroidery encourages mindful, rhythmic stitching, promoting focused breathing patterns that can induce a sense of calm and relaxation.

Perfect for beginners!

I’ve been wanting to learn crewel for ages. It literally felt like an act of self-care to open this kit, as it was exquisitely and expertly packaged. The wool is gorgeous. I followed along with the free YouTube videos as I was getting started. I also purchased the deluxe starter kit, and feel that the hoop and stand are critical. I am on my third feather now, and my skill and confidence are growing—especially with the soft shading.

In addition to a beautiful product, I very much appreciate the work of The Crewel Work Company, as it has given me access to an art form from over 3000 miles away. I am incredibly inspired by their work and will definitely be purchasing another kit.
