In my recent trp up to Paraguay I searched but could not find except in museums, anything of equivalent fine standard.  As this pic shows, the units are made individually using needle lace techniques &#8211; this coloured thread is of the coarsest guage we saw &#8211; equivalent to about #8 perle perhaps, maybe a bit larger &#8211;  and some I bought was a lot finer and therefore more exy.<\/p>\n<p>From the one or two pics I saw in travel guides,  I really did not think I would like the coloured lace, being  more inclined to the traditional beauty of the white or cream;  but it is totally beautiful, quite glorious en masse, and when I drag DH back there some time I would like to buy a cloth in full living colour to fit our Aus table, with the extensions in.  Well that&#8217;s the current theory .  <\/p>\n<p>Many of these units are appliqued onto clothing, sometimes set in, although we also saw entire skirts of lace; and in the ministerio de tourismo proudly stands even a Paraguayan national flag, comprising horizontal bands of red, white and blue lace units, with a hand embroidered symbol that sits in the middle of their flag denoting the star, palm and olive branches.&nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/' target='ext'><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif\" alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago I put up a pic of very fine lace of this type, an antique hanky most likely.
