What category would you ascribe if you were cataloging a piece of Tenerife lace or Spanish Ruedas? Under what words would you look for it? Would you call it "Embroidered Net"? There is an entire realm of things that are similar to these laces called names like Lazy Daisys. These are things that are yarn laid in a fashion on a loom, but not woven. Instead the structural integrity comes from a stitch made with a needle. You can see this process on something called a Butterfly loom here on this youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW1FyGWQf7Q
Unfortunately, a lot of these processes seem to relate to looms called Lazy Daisy, Flower Looms, Butterfly Looms, Magic Looms, etc. which seem to be trade names rather than a name for the process.
