needle lace

Needle lace is a delicate textile craft created by hand-stitching fine threads with a needle, forming intricate, openwork designs. It involves assembling motifs and patterns, often using techniques like buttonhole and wandering stitches, on a temporary backing or directly onto the fabric. This lace-making method produces lightweight, detailed lace that can be used as decorative edging, motifs, or full fabrics in clothing and accessories. Needle lace requires skilled craftsmanship, patience, and attention to detail, resulting in highly ornamental, durable, and elegant textile embellishments.
