Fine Linens: Handmade Tatting Lace Round Doilies E+W 100% Cotton

Tatting is a technique for handcrafting a particularly durable lace from a series of knots and loops. The lace is formed by a pattern of rings and chains formed from a series of cow hitch or half-hitch knots, called double stitches, over a core thread. Gaps can be left between the stitches to form picots, which are used for practical construction as well as decorative effect.

The term for tatting derived from French frivolité, which refers to the purely decorative nature of the textiles produced by this technique. In German, tatting is usually known by the Italian-derived word Occhi or as Schiffchenarbeit, which means “work of the little boat,” referring to the boat-shaped shuttle. in Italian, tatting is called chiacchierino, which means “chatty.”
