Bargello

Bargello is a traditional needlework technique characterized by creating intricate, geometric patterns using straight stitches, often forming rhythmic, wave-like or flame-like designs. It’s typically worked on a grid of fabric, where the stitches follow a specific pattern to produce a textured, vibrant appearance. Bargello can be used for decorative items like pillows, (or) wall hangings, showcasing craftsmanship and pattern planning. Its origins trace back to Italian upholstery from the Renaissance period, where it was used to decorate furniture. Today, it remains a popular form of embroidery admired for its striking, rhythmic patterns and detailed craftsmanship.
