It's a fairly modernized version of raised work, using primarily rayon and
some cotton threads.

Rayon was the first man-made fibre, developed in the 1800s by extruding
natural cellulose.



Cotton, in general, was not used in period for embroidery; silk, wool, and
metal threads were the fibres used in period.  Today, many of us use cotton
because it is, quite frankly, affordable.
