IDRIJA LACE STORY
The town of Idrija, according to its inhabitants, is known mainly for two things - one of them being the mercury mine and the other the world-famous Idrija lace.
Idria housewives began to make lace as early as around 1696. First, it was a product made of thick flax thread, and intended mainly for the domestic market, for various church dignitaries and also for the wealthier peasantry. Bobbin lace takes its name from the specially designed tools called bobbins which hold the cotton or flax thread.
The following is a collection for Idrija lace festival 2014.
