Needlepoint
Needlepoint is a form of canvas work embroidery, in which yarn is stitched through a canvas ground fabric. Unlike surface embroidery, needlepoint uses the canvas, or ground fabric, to create a new fabric. Needlepoint worked on very fine (high-count) canvas is called petit-point. Needlepoint is often referred to as "tapestry", but differs from true tapestry which is woven on a loom rather than stitched on canvas mesh.
Finished works may be made into pillows or upholstery, or may be displayed on the wall, framed or unframed, or made into holiday ornaments, purses, stuffed stand-up figures, or rugs.
