This product is made with a technique known as candlewicking. Candlewicking is an old handwork technique from the 1800s, its name derives from the nature of the soft spun cotton thread, which was braided then used to from the wick for candles. Also known as white work, it is usually characterized by the use of white thread on white fabric. While any embroidery stitch can be used, candlewicking is set apart by its use of a variation of the French knot known as the colonial knot.
