Japanese artist Yumiko Higuchi is renowned for embroidery designs inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics. Her motifs reflect her signature zakka style—minimalist and bold, yet gently infused with natural, organic shapes. Embroidered Botanicals features 39 projects that showcase the unique qualities of various threads, including wool, cotton, pearl cotton, and metallic. Each motif is tailored for a specific thread type, helping crafters deepen their understanding of materials. With vivid photography, clear instructions, and detailed diagrams, this book is both a perfect starting point for beginners and a fresh source of inspiration for seasoned embroiderers.
