Anotations

Scope note:

A type of bobbin lace originally made with a naturally-colored silk thread, but which now may be white or black. It is a delicate, continuous bobbin lace, often using a heavier thread for the usually floral figuration than the ground. It was made in strips like Spanish lace. As methods for processing the silk evolved, a lighter, softer thread was obtained. Because of this evolution terminology such as "silk blonde," "white blonde," or "black blonde" laces may be encountered.
