Interweave SKU: EP7977

Bruges, in Belgium, is known for its grand tradition of gorgeous bobbin lace. With Bruges crochet lace, an echo of bobbin lace, a long strip of double crochet is joined to other parts of the strip with chains and slip stitches at the beginning of each row as the strip dances to and fro. The slow striping yarn takes full advantage of the twists and turns that the strip makes. (Interweave)
