Editing Drawn thread work (section)

====Drawn-thread work with Needlelace====
[[Reticella]] lace is a form of embroidery in which typical techniques of [[needlelace]] are used to embellish drawn thread work. It was first used in 16th century [[Italy]]. Needlelace evolved from this when the lacemakers realized that they can do the same things without any supporting fabric. High quality reticella is done with thread almost as thin as sewing silk. [[Ruskin lace]] is in fact a near-modern form of it. Warp and weft threads are removed, and the remaining threads are overcast with [[buttonhole stitch]]es, as in needlelace.

Another embroidery style that combines drawn thread work with needlelace techniques is [[hedebo embroidery|Hedebo]] from [[Denmark]], which originates from the area around [[Copenhagen]] and [[Roskilde]]. It uses techniques that are clearly distinct from reticella and traditional Italian needlelace on the one hand and Hardanger on the other. It does make extensive use of buttonhole stitches, but they are done slightly differently than in Italian embroidery.
