Punto a groppo

Punto a groppo (Italian, "knotted lace")^[1] is type of lace made without bobbins (weights). It originated in Italy, possibly Milan,^[2] in the 16th century and usually incorporated geometric patterns. It is the precursor to bobbin lace.^[3] Remaining samples of this lace are rare.^[4]

Punto a groppo was typically used for edging. Although related to macramé,^[5]^[6] which is knotted by hand, punto a groppo was likely created with a needle.^[4]^[7]

Punto a groppo was also called gropo, gruppo, gropari,^[4] and point noué.^[8]
