needlepointing
Decorative thread craft
Needlepointing is the activity of doing needlepoint—stitching yarn through an open-weave canvas to create decorative designs.
The term emphasizes the ongoing activity rather than the finished product: She spent the afternoon needlepointing while listening to podcasts.
Like knitting or crocheting, it's often done as a meditative hobby.
