Contemporary Embroidery on Wool

Embroidery on Knits by Judit Gummlich is a guide to embellishing knitted garments and accessories with embroidery — a technique that transforms a finished piece into something entirely personal. The book covers the full process from planning a design through to the finished project, with 18 nature-inspired templates to work from.

Projects include a cardigan embellished with bright flowers, a dragonfly motif on the front of a sweater, and mittens with plants climbing up the back of the hand. The templates are designed to be adapted and combined, giving you a starting point rather than a fixed outcome.

Judit Gummlich has spent more than 20 years working in theatre costume departments and brings that same attention to detail and material knowledge to her approach to fibre arts. She is also a passionate gardener and beekeeper — which shows in the natural world imagery throughout the book.
