====Hardanger==== {{main|Hardanger embroidery}} [[Hardanger embroidery]] is a style of drawn thread work that is most popular today. It originally comes from [[Norway]], from the [[districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Hardanger]]. The backbone of Hardanger designs consists of [[satin stitch]]es. In geometrical areas both warp and weft threads are removed and the remaining mesh is secured with simple weaving or warping or with a limited number of simple filling patterns. The designs tend to be geometric, if they include flowers or such they are very stylized due to the nature of the technique. Hardanger never includes [[Buttonhole stitch]]es, except for securing the edges of a piece of fabric. It is usually executed using rather coarse fabric and thread.
