Mechlin lace

  • ... that one of the major differences between Mechlin (pictured) and Valenciennes lace is the cordonnet, a loosely spun silk cord used to outline and define the pattern?
  • ... that astronauts have a patch of velcro inside their helmets that acts as a nose scratcher and that the manufacturing process used to create silent velcro for the U.S. Army is a military secret?
  • ... that Brussels lace is made in pieces, with the design made separate from the ground, unlike Mechlin lace or Valenciennes lace, and is known for its delicacy and beauty?

  • ... that makers of Chantilly lace (pictured) were guillotined during the French Revolution because they were seen as protégés of the royals?
  • ... that Blonde lace, while made with the same stitches as Chantilly lace, was made out of two different thicknesses of thread to create greater contrast between the pattern and the ground?
  • ... that Antwerp lace is also known as "Pot Lace" because of its repeated flower pot motifs?
