- My folk costume shirt has delicate whitework embroidery done in a technique called "ronkkaus". As far as I know, this stitch doesn't have an English name but if you think otherwise, please comment below! I thank Sini Vento for letting me use her pictures of folk embroidery on Finnish national costumes!

Beautiful! I love intricate thread work. I haven't seen this technique before.
This is so simple yet stunning!
Wow!
Oh, nice! This looks a lot like the "verhoplut" (meaning the thread wanders over the fabric) found in Ukrainian embroidery, except all the starting stitches for verhoplut I've seen have been either fully vertical or horizontal. I haven't seen an English name for it either.
Thanks! Yes, it is very similar. I think that the English name for it is topwinder stitch. Ronkkaus is like a triangular version of it.
This is really gorgeous! I’m r that it takes a lot of practice and time whether I’m simple stitches or more complicated patterns. I am curious. I’d it mostly a decorative art, or does it have functional elements as well?
(I hope I phrased that well.)
Thanks for the great videos! I’m recovering from Covid and Influenza A, so I’m up at all kinds of odd times.
Well, in the old days the sewing skills were greatly appreciated, so a good embroidery might have helped you to catch a nice husband! That’s practical, isn’t it! The boys used to make fun of girls whose outfit showed a lack of skills in handiwork.
Looks like it's slightly related in concept to American huck weaving.
