“Needle Lace” is perhaps the oldest form of lace where literally only a needle and thread were used to create stitches that would imitate lace. These laces were extremely fine and took an awful amount of time to create. History shows us examples where these types of laces originated somewhere in the region of Turkey and later were adapted to using thicker threads, cords etc to create laces. Italian “Punto in Aria” laces were another form of needle laces. “Punto in Aria” literally means stitches in air which meant that fabric or any other medium was not used to create the lace rather threads were intertwined with needles in such a manner to create laces.

"Needle Lace 1" is my duplication of this ancient art recreated by home embroidery machine. The laces are extremely light weight and openwork ideal for delicate edgings, lace panels etc. to be used for fashion wear or home decor. The laces use the 4x4 and the 5x7 hoop. They can be purchased collectively only. Do download the sample to test them before purchase. It is extremely difficult to photograph the laces thus I have used the software generated images.. I hope you enjoy these freestanding laces as much as I enjoyed creating them.
