Today is the last day for blue. Because when we’re locked in, I have a lot of free time. Yesterday I decided to tidy up the drawers a little. I found a lot of things that I had forgotten a little about. Among other things, I found this beautiful Idrija lace. Idrija lace is a type of hand-knitted lace with a centuries-old tradition, which is preserved and developed in the area of Idrija and its surroundings even today. White linen or cotton thread is most commonly used to make it. Due to the loss of work in the mine there, Idrija women, from the middle of the 17th century onwards, made a huge effort to make lace.

Lovely piece of work, did you make this Vidocka? do you use this kind of work on clothes?
Thank you so much. Yes, this is also used with clothes, table cloths, etc.
I never seen or heard about Idrija lace . We have something similar called macramé.
I suppose your macramas are beautiful too.
Thank you. It’s really nice, they are made in our country
It is very beautiful, I have never heard about it.
Thank you very much. Lace is really quite a “work of art.”
graceful and beautiful, it looks like it is a bird, what is the purpose of the lace?
This is a swallow, a very popular bird in Slovenia. We also call her the holy bird. Swallows were supposed to defend Jesus Christ against people who despised him. That is why Christians today respect the swallows, and they like to sit on the cross, especially on the crosses at the top of bell towers, and may also be among St. to come to church and to throw there.
that is simply amazing – beautiful!!! thank you for the explanation!
You are always welcome
thanks! i have learned something today, now i need to get back to work!
My mother knitted different things on one hook. But they are no longer used. And mine are tucked away in the wardrobe. Nice and fine workmanship
Thank you so much. Your mom’s products also had to be gorgeous.
Very pretty. I have seen similar not sure what it is called though
Thank you very much. There are certainly similar laces.
What a beautiful piece this is. You say it is hand knitted… but it seems more like bobbin lace with the contour of the bird. Still the fact remains I will definitely look up Idrija lace as I had never heard of it compared to point lace or Bruges lace or Venetian gros point or Irish point lace etc….
Thank you so much. I’m sorry I made a mistake. Lace is really bobbin. You will surely find something online.
I haven’t seen on in real life. Perhaps I had seen it on TV or the Internet only like now.
This is the world famous lace. Therefore, you may have seen it on the Internet.
Wow this is absolutely breathtaking! Never heard of this lace.
Thank you so much. Lace is really beautiful, a real work of art.
This is very interesting and new to me. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Ellie. If you ever visit Slovenia, there is a museum in Idrija.
I’d love to go back to Slovenia and visit some more places there.
So neat and intricate. I doubt if it is crocheted.
Thank you. This product is the bobbin. I don’t know if you know this.
This is the first I have seen. Very interesting and very beautiful.
Thank you, Kim. It really looks a little artistic.
