=== Background ===

Much surviving medieval [[embroidery]] from Norway were in fact imported into the country from other parts of Europe and Asia Minor. This was not an unusal occurance as many countries had international reputations for certain types of work.

=== Materials ===

* [[linen]] ground fabric (most common)
* [[wool]] ground

Threads were usually homepsun woolen yarn (natural or dyed) with only occassionaly use of [[silk]]s, [[linen]] or metal threads.

=== Stitches ===

The stitches used in surviving pieces include:
* [[stem stitch]]
* [[pattern darning]]
* [[laid and couched Work]]

=== Techniques ===

Some pieces used a mixture of stitches and materials, others used only a limited number of techniques. Below are some of the cominations in surviving pieces:

* [[wool]] ground fabric, white [[linen[[ [[thread]] outlines using [[stem stitch]] filled with [[pattern darning]]
* [[linen]] ground fabric with [[pattern darning]] using [[wool]] yarn.
* [[laid and couched work]] in polychrome [[wool]] on [[linen]] or [[wool]] tabby ground

=== Design

While there are not enough surviving works to talk about specific design influences, the surviving works tend to be done using a common palette of blue, yellow, green and red wool yarn and white linen thread to make the pattern darned designs.
