Alencon Beaded Lace #12

The Alencon beaded lace #12 has a gorgeous pattern of beading and embroidery which is reminiscent of the romanticism of times gone by. Often called the Queen of Lace, Alencon is a needle lace named for the region in France where it originated, copying the Venetian style in order to reduce the country's dependence on expensive imports. Created by sewing together hundreds of stitches, this fine-quality lace is incredibly durable, refusing to unravel even if one or more loops becomes broken.
