Crewel is surface embroidery worked in crewel wool, a fine, loosely twisted two-ply worsted yarn, usually on a firm linen or linen-cotton ground. Because it is a free technique rather than a counted one, the design is drawn on the cloth and filled with a wide range of stitches, and it is most associated with the large curling leaf-and-vine Tree of Life designs of seventeenth-century Jacobean England that travelled to colonial America. Campbell's reference entry defines the term, and Stearns surveys the American tradition. The word denotes the wool, and by extension the embroidery made with it, rather than any particular stitch.[1][2]
