Bobbin lace is a fascinating craft and Sajou has introduced products to make it accessbile. This album is the result of a collaboration between Maison Sajou and the Centre d"Enseignement de la Dentelle and is the first of a series of albums planned. (Dentelle is the French word for lace.) The number 451 on the album is a reminder of the 19th century album that Maison Sajou created for lace patterns. The "Petite Methode de dentelle a la main (little method of lacemaking) contains 24 pages and includes: * The international codification color chart. * The traditional bases: feet, basic stitches, picots, crossinga and basic grounds, all fully illustrated. * Ten models or patterns to make, each with a graph, instructions and photo of the finished model. * A history of bobbin lace, summary of the necessary supplies and a photo of the color range of Fil Au Chinois Calais coccons. These threads are also available on our site. The text is in French and English.
