Lace and Colour

Spitze in Fabre (Lace and Colour) by Christine Mirecki 2011
Purchased from Barbara Fay.

There are prickings for 14 scarves worked in Natural Shantung-Yaspe, Tussah-Siede or Pagoda-Siede silk.
The basic techniques and stitches are Torchon with a difference.
Some patterns are worked zig zagging from side to side til length required is reached.  Some are worked half at a time then other half worked and sewn back, with a start and finish in the middle.  All designs use colour to highlight features or to create interest.  The patterns are not difficult and a beginner to lacemaking would need some help to start but could work these designs.
