To learn about the history of cross stitch we have to find the original source of the embroidery. The wall paintings and ancient sculptures show the art used on the cloth material from the very ancient days. A sample of embroidery in Peru was identified as appearing in the years 200-500 AD. This cloth was discovered in ancient Coptic tomb, Egypt and preserved thanks to the dry climate of the desert here.


Cross stitch flourished in the Tang Dynasty China in about 618-906 AD. At that time, in Europe the process of commercialization of embroidery has become very popular. 11th century marked the birth of the most famous carpets in the picture embroidered collar called Bayeux tapestry. This picture tapestries depicting Nooc-Wear invasion of England.

In Spain, under the influence of Islamic civilization from Morocco (circa 756-1492) blackwork very popular. It is thought that this technique has influenced the development of cross stitch. Blackwork record the geometric outline on a white linen cloth, using wool made from black wool. And this technique has been introduced into England in the 16th century thanks to the first wife Catherine of Aragon-Hispanic of King Henry VII.

At that time in Eastern Europe, folk art is very popular. Today can still be found in the book Cross-stitch patterns or geometric flowers are used to decorate household items at that time.

Many years before the first book Cross-stitch was published in the Germany in 1524, these artisans have retained embroidery embroidery pattern that they love on a small canvas.

Further evidence of the educational value of these embroidery patterns can be found in an orphanage in Bristol.

During the 19th century, cross stitch has gradually come into recession when Berlin woolwork took over the market in 1830. These natural materials have been applied to the canvas in Berlin and sold all over the UK, USA, Germany. Until 1840, there were more than 14,000 Berlin woolwork in England. When staining techniques improved, a lot more vivid color just came out as purple, magenta, violet color. It is this made Berlin woolwork even be everyone”s favorite.

But at the end of that century, the art quickly "disgrace" in the Americas and Europe, despite the efforts of William Morris (1834 ~ 96) and the movement of "Arts and Crafts" (Arts & Crafts Movement) his; especially of his daughter - William May - the leading artists of the embroidery industry. Death knell rang to signal the irreversible degradation of the cone when the machine embroidery hand embroidery industry”s first Joseph Heilman was released in 1828.
