Title : "Dentelle : tapis de table, filet brodé" is, roughly, "Lace table
cover, embroidered netting."

Embroidered netting has about sixty-eleven names:  lacis, darned netting
(which I always think sounds like a repair, rather than a technique), filet
lace, et c.  In this case the embroidery on the net is in beautiful color.
*sigh*

The Lace Fairy page has the following:

The links at the bottom of this page lead to more lovely lace-net eye candy!

with 4-inch mesh out of blue and white garden string!)
