Parisian stitch.

Parisian stitch is a longer horizontal/vertical stitch used in needlepoint next to a smaller parallel stitch to create a basketweave pattern. The end points on either end alternate in a staggered pattern.[1]

According to Thérèse de Dilmont in the Encyclopedia of Needlework: Template:Quote

The case holding this thread is commonly known as an etu and is derived from the French word meaning fabric case.
