Slow stitching - how to make a Suffolk Puff (YoYo)

Slow stitching and embroidery video tutorials for beginners and onwards.

Join Louise from Eleanor Grace, a British Textile Artist based in Wiltshire, near the beautiful Georgian city of Bath. With occasional guest appearances from Ella, my senior black cat 🐈‍⬛️ 😅

Louise creates heirloom pieces including journals and teaches embroidery and slow stitching courses, both in person and virtually, wherever possible using vintage, reclaimed or recycled materials, inspired by nature.

Celebrate the mindful and meditative benefits of taking some time out for yourself, to mindfully enjoy slow stitching and other embroidery techniques, to make beautiful textile collages.

Louise specialises in teaching beginners and intermediate level stitchers who may have little or no experience and want to get started on their stitching journey.

This video introduces you to making the two different styles of Suffolk Puff (sometimes known as YoYos), a heritage craft from the east of England, dating back to at least 1600.
