definition: This is an embroidery stitch now known as "Kensington stitch" although Semper refers to it as "opus plumarium". Its current name is due to it being revived by the Royal School of Needlework at South Kensington (London, UK) in the second half of the nineteenth century. This stitch is used mainly for embroidering floral motifs, but also other figurative subjects, such as animals, people and landscapes. Source: Textile Research Centre Leiden
