5 Reticella
The first-known needle-made lace and was produced in all lace-making countries under different names. It was made in several ways; the first consisted in arranging a network of threads on a small frame, crossing and interlacing them in various complicated patterns. Beneath this network was gummed a piece of fine cloth, open like canvas, called Quintain. Then with a needle the network was sewn to the quintain by edging round those parts of the pattern which were to remain thick, and cutting away the superfluous cloth; hence the name of cutwork in England. A simpler method was to make the pattern detached without any linen base, the threads radiating at equal distances from one common centre, served as a framework to others which were united to them in geometric forms. Also known as Greek lace.
