#Turkeywork (also Norwich-work) is a hand-knotted and cut wool pile furnishing textile popular from the C16 - mid C18 in England. Elizabethan Turkeywork was commercially produced in 1583 in Norwich but also in Windsor and York.
Original designs imitated Middle Eastern imported carpets.

Turkey work and punch needle are the most aggressively ‘trust the process’ crafts I think I’ve ever practiced.
