Torchon Lace is based on a rectangular grid with angles of 90 and 45 degrees. This makes for a strong fabric which withstands wear and washing better than other laces. Simple curves are used which soften the overall appearance. Its characteristics suit the relatively thicker gauges of thread. Torchon is an unpretentious lace, appealing to the eye in its regularity and without the frills of many other kinds of lace On the following pages there are a simple Torchon bookmark, with a close-up so you can see the stitches more clearly, a collar and a square cloth. You can see the most common elements of Torchon Lace in a close-up of the collar.
