A short illustrated magazine article on lacis, the darned netting lace (punto a maglia) in which patterns are darned into a hand-knotted net stretched on a frame. It covers the origin of the term, the distinction between needle-point and pillow lace, and the medieval history of net lace made in convents and manor houses, including church altar frontals with Bible scenes. The photographs show cushions, filet panels, and samples of linen stitch, Sardinian weave, linen darning, shadow work, and embroidered net.
