Vasna Lacis, filet, filet lacis are all names for the same thing. It is a form of embroidered needle made lace which starts out with a handmade knotted net as the base, with needle made darning stitches and others to create dense areas for the design. There is a form of crochet, called filet crochet which attempts to imitate this in its general impression. It is usually made with sets of treble crochet stitches arranged in clumps in an overall square mesh design.
