 Hardanger Tips

History of Hardanger

Hardanger is a combination of a few  types of stitches.   Embroidery, satin stitch, cable stitch, drawn work, cut work,   white work, etc.  and today is combined with many other types of stitching like cross stitch,  to produce beautiful designs and pieces.  Believe it or not, Hardanger is not difficult to do.  It can be a daunting task to take on your first Hardanger piece.  Start small, and work your way up.  Hardanger is basically just a few stitches combined to make a masterpiece.  It is very important to be precise when doing Hardanger embroidery.  Count, count, and count again to be sure you place your stitches correctly.  If you don't, your work can and will easily fall apart when you start cutting.  The back of your work should match the front as closely as possible.

What's New at Julie's X Stitch?

I am constantly on the look out for new, quality products to offer you at Julie's X Stitch.  New to Julie's Cross stitch this month, are  Piecemakers Needles for cross stitch.   They are sturdy needles and slide smoothly through your fabric. Tapestry needles by Piecemakers.  We have recently added a Hardanger section to our store.  Hardanger tips, fabrics, floss, kits, patterns, and supplies.  Hardanger is my new passion.  We have added more of the Caron floss line to our store.  The most recent is Soie Cristale.   It is 100% silk floss like the Waterlilies, but they are solid colors rather than variegated.  Great floss.  We intend to add the rest of the Caron line of floss to our store over time.

What is Julie working on?

I have a new interest.  Hardanger Embroidery.  It is a traditional Norwegian embroidery method.  It produces some beautiful results.  I find it relaxing and enjoyable.  My great grandparents immigrated to Wisconsin from Norway in the 1800's.  I was really interested in learning something from my Norwegian heritage.  I added a Hardanger section to my website with patterns and kits.  I am also working on Hardanger tips.  I have found very little information on how to do Hardanger out there on the web, and what I have found is not very user friendly.  I would hate to see such an incredible art die out for lack of knowledge. 

I have completed two different projects in Hardanger and am always  on the hunt for a new one.  I just entered one of my Hardanger projects in the county fair, along with a couple of my cross stitch projects.
