Bargello stitching is a form of needlepoint and is making a comeback.

There is a project for everyone, whether you are new to bargello or are an original bargello fan. Modern Bargello by Tina Francis shows you how to combine bold, bright colours in attractive, almost psychedelic patterns to create the illusion of 3-D. Use her easy-to-follow charts and approachable instructions to create 15 projects including cushions, wall art, pincushions, bangles, and a brooch.

Bargello is easy to master, quick to achieve, and very addictive. The stitches take on a rhythm of their own, which makes it extremely relaxing, and before long, you’ll be measuring your days in centimetres, not hours. With only a handful of materials required – canvas, tapestry wool, tapestry needle, and instructions – bargello is certain to become your craft of choice.
