Classics in many forms
In Kashubian embroidery there are seven main colors light blue, medium blue, dark sapphire, yellow, red, green, black.
Each school has a slightly different set of colors. The Wdzydze school used the most colors, with up to seventeen colors appearing in their embroideries.
The motifs can be divided into those native to the region, such as bluebells, cornflowers, forget-me-nots, lilies, roses, pansies, carnations, and daisies, as well as those that came from distant countries: tulips, pomegranate fruits, and acanthus leaves. Associated with decorative symbolism, they were initially used by nuns, and over time also found their important place in colorful Kashubian embroidery.
