Huck fabric is a cotton fabric that features “floats” in the weave – or threads that cross in front of other threads in the fabric without locking into those other threads. In this manner, the threads crossing in front “float” above the threads behind.
The floats provide a nice little pattern in the weave and they make it very easy to pass a decorative thread under the floats to adorn the fabric.
Huck embroidery is a surface stitch form of embroidery most popular in the early to mid 20th century. It is also known as Swedish weaving, although it is not weaving in the true sense.The front of the fabric has rows of pairs of thread that stand up from the back, called ‘floats’.
Huck stitch takes the thread underneath these floats in a series of geometric patterns.The stitching only appears on the front of the fabric, and never pierces through the fabric to the back.
