Packet 4: Bonus 15

Eliot Stein’s book Custodians of Wonder opens with an anecdote about a blind woman showing Stein her intricate work with this textile on the island of Burano. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this delicate textile made by looping, knotting, or stitching threads rather than weaving them. Web-like examples of this textile are named for Alençon (“ah-lon-SAWN”) and Chantilly.
ANSWER: lace [accept needle lace or lacework; accept Alençon lace or Chantilly lace]
[10h] A hallmark of Burano lace is this needle technique with a three-word Italian name. Built over a parchment pattern rather than a ground fabric, this style evolved out of reticella and uses dense buttonhole stitches with a corded outline.
ANSWER: punto in aria [prompt on Venetian needle lace; prompt on gros point de Venise]
[10e] Burano is not to be confused with the neighboring island of Murano, which is globally famous for producing this material. This material is pulled to make millefiori canes and blown to make sommerso.
ANSWER: glass [accept Murano glass or Murano glassmaking or Venetian glass]
