Punto a groppo (Italian, "knotted lace")[1] is type of lace made without bobbins (weights). It originated in Italy, possibly Milan,[2] in the 16th century and usually incorporated geometric patterns. It is the precursor to bobbin lace.[3] Remaining samples of this lace are rare.[4]
Punto a groppo was typically used for edging. Although related to macramé,[5][6] which is knotted by hand, punto a groppo was likely created with a needle.[4][7]
Punto a groppo was also called gropo, gruppo, gropari,[4] and point noué.[8]
