What is a tapestry technique using small diagonal stiches?

The tapestry technique using small diagonal stitches is known as "needlepoint." In needlepoint, threads are stitched diagonally across a canvas in a series of small, slanted stitches, creating intricate patterns and designs. This technique allows for detailed imagery and texture, often resulting in richly colored and decorative pieces such as wall hangings or upholstery. It differs from traditional weaving by focusing on stitching rather than weaving threads together.
