Etymology
The term 'rickrack' originates from the mid-19th century, derived from the German word 'Rickrack,' which refers to a similar type of trim. The zigzag design of rickrack was inspired by traditional embroidery patterns and became popular in the United States as a decorative embellishment in various textile crafts. By the late 1800s, rickrack was commonly used in home sewing, and its popularity continued to grow through the 20th century, particularly during the crafting movements. The unique shape allowed for both functional and aesthetic uses, establishing rickrack as a staple in sewing and craft projects. Today, rickrack remains favored among crafters and sewists for its versatility and charming appearance.
