Bruges lace, for example, uses less than a dozen pairs of bobbins and a relatively coarse thread to create curved braids and flower-like motifs which are linked to form the fabric; on the other hand point ground laces, such as Chantilly or Bucks Point, are worked from one end to the other in fine silk or cotton and may need a hundred pairs or more.'\n\nAn extensive techniques section makes lacemaking clear, simple and enjoyable.\n\nFive full step-by-step projects with pricking patterns.\n\nGives advice on adding decorative features, beads and tassels.\n\nSuitable for both beginners and more experienced lacemakers.\n\nA clearly illustrated step-by-step guide to all the stitches and techniques needed to create beautiful bobbin lace.\n\nIncludes prickings and easy-to-follow photographs showing how to use them.\n\nProvides full instructions for a selection of colourful Torchon lace projects using a variety of yarns: a bag, a purse, a scarf and a cushion.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1844481085\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1844481085.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dye, Gilian|Thunder, Adrienne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
