Flanders Bobbin Lace Edging

30 inches long, about 1 1/8 inch wide.

A very traditional and classic bobbin lace. The stylized design sometimes is called the "monkey" pattern -- the resemblance long lost in abstraction.

An additional pair of twisted threads runs through the edge picots.

A few little breaks along the top, or "foot" side. Otherwise very clean and usable.

Detail of Flanders edgingDetail of Flanders edgingpadThe pattern in worked in linen or "whole" stitch, with half-stitch detail. The clothwork design is separated from the five-hole mesh with a "ring pair" or twisted pair of threads.

Lacemakers and collectors could easily make up a collection of just variations of the five-hole mesh, there are so many variations.
