Here's a complete index of the step-by-step articles on the Crewel Rooster embroidery project. Within the articles, you'll find valuable tips and tricks on crewel embroidery and on the supplies used, including fabric and a variety of different wool threads.

The Crewel Rooster embroidery project began on December 31, 2009, and I finished him in the middle of February. This embroidery project was primarily experimental - I wanted to test the new linen twill by Legacy linen and try out a variety of wool threads that are available on the market.
