<p class="has-text-align-justify"> ;You might not be familiar with the name but you sure have seen it, it’s the Needlepoint Canvas art.

This art form has been passed on-to generations and today the needlepoint artists have given a wide dimension to stitches used in this art.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">A needlepoint is worked on an even-weave canvas instead of a fabric, similar to a mesh-like structure. ; It is generally made with long strong cotton or linen fibers. ; It is a canvas work embroidery and is distinct from other embroideries due to the material used. The canvas is made with woven square netting with vertical and threads woven over each other to get the desired result.</p>
