A decorative embroidery technique from Norway featuring pulled threads and geometric patterns, often created on special evenweave linen.
Named after the Hardanger Fjord region in Norway where this embroidery style originated and flourished during the medieval period.
Hardanger embroidery uses the thread count of the linen itself as a design tool—by removing and pulling threads, embroiderers create mathematical patterns, making it a form of textile geometry that predates modern fractals.
