Embroidery work was done by aristocratic noblewomen and their maids, as well as by professional embroiderers.

The style is referred to as "crewel work", which means creating designs by means of hand-stitching with coloured wool thread, using a variety if different stitches.

The most famous piece of medieval needlework is the so-called "Bayeux Tapestry", which is not a tapestry but an embroidery.
