Palestrina Knot

 I tried to do this stitch before and I did not finish the stitch correctly with a knot and it did not look so wonderful.  This time I decided to make my stitch by inserting the needle straight up and down.  Wool is so thick this helps keep the stitch straight and small.
To make this stitch you are to pass the needle under a loop without piercing the fabric.  I found that it works very well to push the eye end rather than the point.  Wool is so fuzzy that the needle point can inadvertently grab the fabric and distort.
 
This stitch was made with Perle crown rayon thread and has such wonderful dimension.  I really like the look of this stitch,
