Is it ok to use yarn for landscape embroidery on burlap?

Absolutely! 

Using yarn for landscape embroidery brings a special kind of ease and charm that’s hard to resist. The softness and thickness of yarn make it wonderfully satisfying to work with—offering quick coverage, rich texture, and bold strokes that mimic the feel of painting with fiber. Unlike delicate floss, yarn is more forgiving, easier to handle, and perfect for expressive, loose stitching.

The attraction lies in its tactile beauty. With yarn, you can build up layers to create rolling hills, swirling skies, or fluffy clouds with dimension and depth. Its cozy, woolly quality adds warmth to the piece, inviting you to touch and explore. From chunky wools to fine threads, the variety of textures lets you play freely, blending colors and materials like a landscape artist with a brush.

I consider yarn landscape embroidery to be perfect for beginners and seasoned stitchers alike—whether you want a quick, relaxing project or a bold, textured artwork. It’s a beautiful balance of ease, freedom, and rustic charm that makes every stitch feel like a tiny work of art.
