Embroidered lace
Embroidered lace is embroidered on a base using a needle. The base varies according to the type.
Many techniques use a net, either woven or knotted. The net varies:
- Woven fabric with threads removed to make a grid (Reticella, Buratto)
- Machine made hexagonal net (Limerick, Needlerun net, Tambour)
- Knotted square net (either hand-made or machine-made) (Filet)[1]
Sol laces are embroidered in a circular pattern on radiating spokes of threads. These include Tenerife lace and Ñandutí lace.[2]
