Lacy Net Weaving
Article by KarensVariety.com

Lacy Net Weaving is similar to plastic canvas but netting is flexible so it can be used to make clothing and accessories. This is a wonderful beginner craft for adults and children alike.

Use a needle and yarn or thread to weave on mesh net material. Weave a zig zag, plaid or other pattern or use cross stitch or plastic canvas stitches such as French knots.

Fabric netting comes in a variety of different sizes with large or small holes. The size you use will depend on the type of yarn. You can choose from a heavy yarn such as bulky weight or worsted weight or choose cotton thread.

The fabric netting you choose must be sturdy enough to hold up to wear. If you make slippers, for example, your netting will need to be very sturdy.

The types of stitches you use will determine how much of the netting will show. If your netting is a contrast colour, you may wish it to show through as a background.
