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)

    • Sol laces are embroidered in a circular pattern on radiating spokes of threads. These include Tenerife lace and Ñandutí lace.
