Zakka Embroidered Napkins

Your loom will keep your fabric under tension as you stitch charming Scandinavian-inspired flowers on these napkins. The classic combination of white on navy creates a year-round design.

When Yvonne picked up a copy of Zakka Embroidery by Yumiko Higuchi, she fell instantly in love. Zakka is a Japanese word that means “taking delight in everyday things.” It can include combining Japanese style with Scandinavian design and embellishing everyday items, such as shirts, baby booties, or, in this case, napkins. Inspired by Higuchi’s book, Yvonne designed her own flower design for the edge of a set of handwoven napkins. She found embroidering while at the loom with the fabric already under tension particularly satisfying.
