Cette technique puise sans doute ses origines dans la confection des filets de pêche. La dentelle a été réalisée dans les premiers temps avec les doigts, ensuite à l'aide d’outils en arêtes de poissons ou en os d’oiseaux, puis avec une aiguille. Faite en fils de coton, de lin, de soie ou d’or et d’argent, quelquefois mélangés entre eux, elle peut être effectuée sans autre support que les doigts. L'endroit et l'envers sont similaires, et malgré sa finesse apparente, le travail est très solide. Les arceaux carrés, ronds, triangulaires ou en losanges sont délimités par des nœuds; en variant leurs longueur, forme et densité, on peut réaliser des motifs très variés. La dentelle arménienne affectionne les figures géométriques, animalières et surtout les représentations de fleurs, de feuilles et d’arbres. Elle orne le linge ainsi que les coiffes et les costumes nationaux. 1, record 3, French, - dentelle%20arm%C3%A9nienne

The foundation for Punto in Aria was a piece of fabric-backed parchment on which the design to be worked was drawn. A thread was couched down along the outline of the design, and the decorative bars were connected to the thread. When the needlework was complete, the couching thread was clipped, and the lace came away from the foundation in a single piece. At first the designs were the same as those used for reticella, but needleworkers quickly learned that the foundation threads could be couched down to form any shape desired, and patterns soon became more naturalistic. 1, record 6, English, - Punto%20in%20Aria%20lace
