crewelling Definition

A term that is not commonly used in English. It may be a misspelling of 'creolling' which refers to the process of transforming a natural wood into a decorative or functional object by cutting, carving, or shaping while still in its natural state, often emphasizing the natural beauty of the wood grain and texture. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the process of personal transformation or development, akin to the aesthetic transformation of wood into a craft object.
