I've been on a few other instances and places online, but I decided I wanted to connect more with what's going on in Scotland (since that's where I live). I'm learning #embroidery (in a very amateur way).

Yarn people, textile people : I have found these amazing works. The woman who made them has died, and she never explained what her technique was. Embroidery? Crochet? Can any of you suggest one? Right and wrong sides shown

@lan It's called tambour embroidery in English. I haven't gone through all of these videos, but they seem to go into a lot of detail so they might be what you're looking for: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLddYGsLjClC2gEpbEsEzbzCYjl44x2r7i

The Royal School of Needlework says

"In India embroiderers use a form of tambour called ari which is similar but is worked from the front of the fabric and when beading the beads are loaded onto the ari hook, rather than strung onto the thread." https://rsnstitchbank.org/?/technique/tambour
