Aemilia Ars Style Needlelace has its origin in the old Italian Needlelace of the 16th and 17th century. Elaborate lace collars and cuffs worn by the aristocracy are shown in great detail in paintings at this time and these old designs have been simplified for modern usage for personal and household use. Colour and metallic thread has been used in keeping with modern trends. Step by step instructions have been given for absolute beginners to advanced standing.
