Is such lacy work a little loopy? (5)
I believe the answer is:
picot
I'm afraid I can't explain this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for picot that I've seen before include "Topic about ornamental thread loop" , "lace work" , "Embroidery stitch - topic (anag)" , "Decorative loop in lace" , "Looped edging" .)
