The island of Naxos, largest of all the islands in the Cyclades, is home to a unique style of allover embroidery motifs typically worked in shades of red. These designs feature repeating geometric motifs such as squares, diamonds, and stars and their seeming simplicity illustrates how a single design unit can create a beautiful and rhythmic effect. Perfect for meditative stitching, this design can be worked in the traditional red, or the color of your choice, making it highly versatile.
Due to its small repeat size, it can easily be worked to make smaller or larger embroideries.
