What is "candlewicking"?
Candlewicking is an embroidery technique where thick, knotted threads are used to create textured, decorative patterns on fabric. The technique typically involves stitching with a heavy, cord-like thread to form raised designs that resemble knots or loops. Candlewicking is often used for embellishing items like quilts, pillows, and home textiles, giving them a unique, tactile quality with its dimensional patterns.
