Among 17 basic colours of the Wdzydze school we have: 3 blue – from pale blue to navy blue (in the company "Ariadna"’s colour palette these are numbers 441, 442 and 443A); 2 red – pure red and dark red shading into deep red (428B, 429); 3 shades of pink in warm tones, similar to a flesh colour (410, 420 & 423); sunny yellow (404); 2 shades of orange – brighter and more intensive (406 & 417); 2 shades of beige and 2 shades of brown also in warm tones (407, 473, 480 & 488); black and green – not so bright, rather like a dark-olive colour (451).

The technique of Kashubian embroidery is quite simple. The basic thing is brioche stitch called “plain” by embroiderers. Stems of flowers, tendrils, borders around cherries and other motifs are made with stem stitch, nets – with cross stitch “Janina”, and points called “freckles” by embroiderers in Kaszuby – with knots. Before embroidering it is however recommended to take a look at some already complete embroideries. Later, by choosing colours according to patterns on cards, we should embroider in such a way that a pattern on the underside of linen is almost the same as on the top, does not tangle in knots and loops. The underside is the best examination of embroiderer’s technical skills. Once the embroidery is done, we should wash the tablecloth, pillow or table runner and remember not to starch embroideries. Iron wet, through a cloth, on the underside.

Edges of Kashubian embroideries are often finished in a drawn-thread technique, with the hem depending on a tablecloth size (1,5 ÷ 4 cm). Tablecloths or table runners can be also finished with brioche stitch (“plain”), embroidered in identical or by turns larger/smaller semicircular “teeth”, also with a fringe that is also used on pillows and at the bottom on a tapestry; a fringe is however not easy to wash. Patterns of Kashubian embroidery look most beautiful on gray linen, but can be also made on white linen.

Finally, let us have some words on the traditional method of moving pattern drawings from cards onto linen that is applied by folk embroiderers. An outline of a pattern should be redrawn with a normal pencil on parchment (tracing paper is worse as it gets worn quickly) and perforate its lines with a needle – many holes should be made, the thicker the structure is, the better. The parchment should be fixed to the linen with pins so it does not move, and carefully pressing move a previously prepared tampon (a flannel one is the best for that) soaked in paraffin oil and rubbed against navy blue or black carbon paper over the pattern. The paper then goes through the holes made and marks the drawing on the linen with dots. The parchment perforated can be then reused.
