needle point
Counted thread craft
Needlepoint is a form of embroidery worked on stiff, evenly woven canvas using wool or silk thread.
The stitches—typically tent stitches—cover the entire canvas to create decorative designs, often for pillows, chair seats, or wall hangings: She spent months on that needlepoint pillow.
Distinguished from other embroidery by its rigid mesh base and complete coverage of the fabric.
