  Hardanger is a classic form of cutwork embroidery combining counted thread work with delicate needle weaving and needle lace. The modern style of this most attractive and enjoyable technique comes from the beautiful Norwegian town of Hardanger. Originally the stitching was worked only in white thread on white fabric but coloured fabrics and threads have become very popular in recent years. This new, contemporary selection of Hardanger designs is worked on a variety of household linen, as well as on soft furnishings in both traditional and modern colours. The finished pieces make stunning gifts or wonderful additions to the home. Full instructions and clear charts are provided with each project.
