Withof

Information

Withof Duchesse bobbin lace is a 20th century invention, derived from Sluis Duchesse (Dutch duchesse). The major innovation is the use of a raised bundle of threads to outline virtually every part of every motif. Sister Judith of Etten-Leur, the Netherlands and her students created this new form.

Comment by Arzhela LE MAITRE on October 12, 2015 at 2:23am: I agree, it's very different of the others types of laces, that's why is very interesant and formative! Barbara, please, take your book, I think we are not too many people doing this kind of lace......

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on October 11, 2015 at 6:50pm: So beautiful, Arzhela. You are truly an expert! I have only done 2 pieces on an enlarged scale. It requires a different kind of thinking than Honiton or Duchesse. One must work out beforehand a working sequence, so all the parts are properly outlined with the roll.

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on March 6, 2015 at 4:02pm: Arzhela - those are very beautiful. I especially like the openwork in the 2 lowest leaves of the first one, and the openwork in the scroll head. In the round one I like the alternation between spiders and point ground. They give a really good balance to the dense clothwork. Marvelous.

Comment by Barbara Gordon on March 6, 2015 at 1:35pm: Just beautiful Arzhela LE MAITRE....if those are your fist, I can just imagine what you will be doing in the future....! It sure looks like a lot more time to do the Withof lace, I hope I have the patience to give it a go. Just beautiful///.
