About product
The blanket is embroidered on factory linen canvas with a regular warp of colored beads. The decoration of the Horehronie embroidery is characterized by geometric motifs, in which embroidered squares dominated by various colored yarns stand out. Both simpler and more complex embroidery techniques are applied. The ordinary and twisted cross stitch, satin stitch, cutwork, and knot stitch represent the basic techniques in Horehronie embroidery. In addition to these, many others are also represented, such as chain stitch, zigzag, and curve stitch.
