Knotting & Netting : The Art of Filet Work
-
Knotting and Netting are the basic techniques of the traditional art of filet or lacis work, in which a mesh of threads is built up with the simplest of tools. With the revival of macrame and crochet there has been renewed interest in this attractive craft and this book provides all you need to know on the subject. It covers the history of netting, the basic tools and materials, and in a series of superb photographs demonstrates the methods of making net and the immense variety of patterns that can be developed.
Translated from Swedish (original title: Knutet ot Trätt).
