 Much like Hardanger, Ukrainian cutwork belongs to the category of 'cut-and-drawn' work, since, unlike merezhka (drawn-work), threads of the ground cloth are cut both vertically and horizontally and thus create specifically larger cut-work openings in the body of the fabric, when compared with drawn-work.The Ukrainian word for cutwork embroidery is vyrizuvannya (pronounced "veree-zoo-van-nya" - translates into "cutwork").There are several styles of Ukrainian cutwork, one of which closely resembles Hardanger cutwork.
