Delicate samples of Ukrainian embroidery

Delicate samples of Ukrainian embroidery

These are a collection of striking embroidery samples from Ukraine. They are beautiful, very delicate, and seem simple but are charming when you pay attention to details. And it doesn’t matter the embroideries are machine-made. Most of these embroidery patterns are whitework, which is typical for Central Ukraine. Some designs have teeny-tiny spots of red or blue intertwined with white. Some even are created with several different colors and shades. But isn’t whitework the most noble-looking and sophisticated needlework ever?

The samples are displayed in Reshetylivka museum, Poltava region, Central Ukraine
