Embroidery on canvas
Embroidery with Berlin wool became a distinctive feature of the 19th century. In Germany, samples of coloured embroidery patterns were sold together with coloured woollen threads. These ornaments embroidered with cross-stitch soon appeared on liturgical vestments as well, but were later condemned as the loss of tradition and craftsmanship of embroidery.
