TATTING
In Middle East it was called Makouk that it means spool; in Germany Schiffschenarbeit that it means shuttle; in France Frivolité, frivolity; in England Tatting and in Italy Chiacchierino that it means to speak rent rent and whispered.
Native of the Arabic countries, it had a great development in the XVIII° and in the XIX° century
In that years dames, and also some queen, spent their time creating laces with the help of thread and shuttle while chatted in their living rooms
It was almost forgotten at the end of Vittorian age to revive after the II° world war.
