=== Background ===

The Germanic lands of [[Europe]] have a long tradition of [[embroidery]]. In the period covered by the [[SCA]], there are two types of [[embroidery]] for which this area is particularly well known, these include [[Whitework]] and [[wool]] [[embroidery]].

=== Materials Used ===

* white [[linen]] thread on [[linen]] ground ([[Whitework]])
* coloured [[wool]] on [[linen]] ground

=== Stitches and Techniques ===

* [[Whitework]] generally consisted of [[chain stitch]], [[stem stitch]] and [[satin stitch]] on a [[linen]] ground using [[linen]] thread.
* wool work was generally done using a self couching or [[klosterstitch]].

=== Design ===

* [[Whitework]] pieces were either [[secular]] or [[ecclesiastical]], however, this technique was a popular one for adorning alter clothes to be used at [[Lent]].
* Wool work was mostly [[secular]], with moral tales being a popular topic.

A point to note is the popularity of heraldic display in Germanic embroidery.
