works but this technique is the main distinguishing feature to be found in
Halas lace also.

Yes, needle weaving is used in Halas lace. Also, I think is some very early
laces. But, now that I am thinking about it, I am realizing that Point de Gaze
has a lot of stiches that are these needle woven circles, often perched on
radial or grid like “warp” threads. Looking at the diagrams in
Earnshaw’s book from Merehurst Embroidery Skills, I also see a petal that is
a triangle lined with button hole stitches, but that has a Cretan stich
connecting the two rows of button hole stitch, which is something I realize
that the artist Agnes Herczeg does in her work.

I never thought about it before we had this discussion of embroidery stitches
in needle lace.
