A needle should never be wound too full, or

A mesh-stick is needed also;
these are of bone or ivory, and are either flat or
round the flat ones being especially adapted to the
making of antique lace.
Steel knitting-needles are
often used for mesh-sticks when fine netting is to
be made, when the meshes of the net are as small as
ten to an inch.

Linen thread, spool or skein thread, is used for
netting, principally, especially for square netting
but
much of the circular netting is done with cotton spool
thread.
For the net a firmly twisted thread is to be
desired, and with some stitches the same thread used
for the net is best for darning or embroidery.

battlemented square. As many loops as are required
for one side of the square are worked on a foundation thread.
This thread will be easier handled if
stretched from one point to another some distance apart
rather than in a loop; it can be tacked to a windowsill or table.
Work one plain row into these loops.
Turn, omitting to work into the last loop of the
previous row, and proceed thus, always skipping
the last loop of the preceding row.
This forms a
