Detail:
This detail runs along the edge of some vintage lace which was hand dyed by me. It consists of a line of detached chain stitches which have been laced in the shape of V with a second thread. I simply threaded the needle through the tie of the detached chain stitch. A French knot is at the base and then I stitched a bead in the middle of each V.
Thread:
Cotton perle #5
