Decorative bobbin lace doily

Decorative bobbin lace doily

The doily is one of the handmade lace products made by crossing, twisting, and weaving linen threads attached to a bobbin. The process follows a pattern – a drawing on paper attached to a cylinder cushion in a wicker basket or on a wooden base. In addition to linen, which is used for the doily on display, the craftsmen make lace from cotton threads, silk, wool, artificial materials, metal threads, and even ropes. Lace is used to adorn clothing and fashion accessories, church and home textiles, and representative spaces. It is also an inspiration for artistic creations in fashion, contemporary visual arts, design, architecture, and culinary design. The lace used for the doily is called “Slovene lace”. This name began to be used during the World Wars for lace in which the traditional patterns were supplemented by the versions of Slovene folk ornamentation. Slovene lace was therefore also referred to as “lace with a national character”.
