The history of the development of artistic embroidery in the North-West of Russia has not yet been sufficiently studied. In popular scientific publications, the main attention was paid to folk embroidery from the 18th to the 20th centuries, and sewing techniques that existed in the noble and urban environment remained little explored. The lack of publications of generalizing works on a number of techniques of artistic sewing does not allow us to identify with sufficient completeness the overall picture of the development of this type of sewing in Russia. The article is devoted to the history and theory of ancient technological features of embroidery in the works of traditional applied art of the North-West of Russia (Leningrad, Vologda, Novgorod and Pskov regions). The author analyses various techniques, ornaments, and color solutions of traditional embroidery. Describing a kind of technological variety of embroidery skill, the author believes that the artistic merits of embroidery in the North-West of Russia is the brightest page in the world history of art.
