Find Dalla Lidia on Via Galuppi in Burano, then read about the flat Farfalla Terry butterfly in handmade needle lace.
A Burano address
Farfalla Terry in two dimensions
Farfalla Terry is a flat, two-dimensional butterfly in Burano needle lace, designed to be framed or used as an appliqué.2
Needle lace, worked freehand
Farfalla Terry is made freehand on Burano using the island’s needle-lace technique.2
A butterfly to look through, not just at
Farfalla Terry is a flat Burano needle-lace object. Its butterfly silhouette is only the first reading: the open areas, joining threads and outline determine how it works against a background. Farfalla Terry can be framed or applied to fabric. Those uses demand different questions: how the background reveals the openwork and how the piece will be attached and cared for. The named example does not establish the materials or display method of every other work in the shop.2
