Candlewicking is a traditional embroidery style. The patterns for Candlewicking may also be adapted for painted and beaded designs. In traditional applications, the designs were stitched with an ecru floss on unbleached muslin, but you can choose any color fabric or floss, especially if you can't find traditional candlewicking thread.
