Yes, needle weaving is used in Halas lace. Also, I think is some very early laces. But, now that I am thinking about it, I am realizing that Point de Gaze has a lot of stiches that are these needle woven circles, often perched on radial or grid like âwarpâ threads. Looking at the diagrams in Earnshawâs book from Merehurst Embroidery Skills, I also see a petal that is a triangle lined with button hole stitches, but that has a Cretan stich connecting the two rows of button hole stitch, which is something I realize that the artist Agnes Herczeg does in her work. I never thought about it before we had this discussion of embroidery stitches in needle lace.
