Modern Blackwork
Blackwork remains popular. Common subjects among hobbyists include chessboards, maps, Tudor houses, roses and cats. Much of the success of a blackwork design depends on how tone values are translated into stitches.
Today, the term "Blackwork" is used to refer to the technique, rather than the colour combination.

And more bigoted in reliance
On the gospel of modern science ...”
