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.

  • Calms nervous system

    Embroidery, with its repetitive and rhythmic hand movements, engages the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.

Everyone stitches at different speeds and tensions but as a guide, this design should take around 8 hours.

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.
