An to Torchon Lace

Torchon lace is a beautiful and intricate lace-making technique that has been around for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to the 17th century in Europe, particularly in Belgium and England. Torchon lace is known for its geometric and grid-like patterns, which are created by weaving threads around pins on a pattern called a "pricking."

Traditionally, Torchon lace was made using coarse threads, which gave it a sturdy and durable quality. However, modern lace artists like Barbara Eikmeier have experimented with different types of threads, bringing new life to this age-old craft.
