A knotted lace, developed from macrame techniques, using two different knots.
Pieces can be flat to use as motifs for clothes, pictures or decorations.
A skilfull lacemaker can make free standing 3 dimensional sculptures which will support themselves, without any external framework. The lace is made on a flat pillow, on which is pinned graph paper as a guide. It could be satisfactorily made on a pricking board used for bobbin lace. Threads should be smooth and firm but not too tightly twisted and must not stretch. Cotton Perle and crochet cottons are ideal.
