Lace (Cotton Crotchet)

100% Cotton Hand-Made LACE from India
Cotton lace making was introduced into India sometime early in the Christian Era by a colony of Syrians who settled in Kerala, South India. The main concentration for embroidery and lace work are Eravipuram, Changanassery, Kottayam, Pala, Parrasala, Trissur and Cannoor. In the matter of pillow lace, the entire lace work is done by passing fine thread attached to wooden pages around pins fixed on a cardboard while in embroidery work, the designs are first drawn on the cloth by hand or copied through a stencil.
