A bobbin lace bookmark worked in the Torchon technique, in a soft variegated pink and white thread. The open, diamond "stars" mesh ground is worked pin by pin on the lace pillow — a slow, deliberate craft that produces a piece of lace fine enough to see straight through, finished at both ends in neat points and a soft tassel.
At 24cm long including the tassel, it's sized to sit inside a favourite book without crowding the page — as much a small piece of textile art as it is something to mark your place.
A lovely gift for a reader, a teacher, or anyone who'd appreciate real bobbin lace rather than the machine-made kind. Ships in a protective clear PVC sleeve, so it arrives ready to use and stays clean in transit.
