Is a form of embroidery where a thread (usually wool) is laid on a ground fabric (usually wool or linen) and then this thread is couched down with another thread. This technique is used to cover large areas of a design very quickly.

One of the most famous works completed in this technique is the Bayeux Tapestry.
