Old Point (punt o antico) is a counted-thread embroidery technique to be executed on fabric with visible, regular weave. The weave is regular when warp and weft have the same density, i.e., in 1 cm2 of fabric there are the same number of threads both horizontally and vertically. A linen 10x10 has ten threads per cm² (very coarse weave), a linen 22x22 has twenty-two threads per cm2. For the realization of the old-point technique it is advisable to choose a warp that can range from 11x11 to 15x15 threads, or use silk, but also flax or jute; obviously the choice depends on the artistic effect desired. The decoration of old-point, very linear and sober, is based on alternating gaps (such as slit-weave or ajourés) and solids in geometric real-stitch designs, sometimes a bit rigid but always very graceful and elegant, to which relieve stitches such as the steam stitch or the sea anemone stitch, and finishing stitches such as the grass stitch, frame, cord, and others are added. Consequently, many stitches are used, each with a particular function (fill, transparency, relief, definition of shapes).
Linen is the oldest and most fascinating textile fiber, once widely cultivated by Egyptians, Babylonians, Phoenicians and other Middle Eastern peoples. The production, processing, and uses of linen are extensively documented in tombs, pyramids, and other monuments among the Egyptians; pure linen was a symbol of divine purity. Even today, cultivation, harvesting, and processing techniques are continually evolving, making linen a modern and unique fabric.
Linen is cultivated both for seed production and to obtain a very precious, soft, flexible, and durable fiber. As a natural fiber, linen has anti-allergic properties and supports the well-being of the body. Given its softness, immediate absorption and evaporation of liquids, and quicker elimination of heat and humidity,
