According to Kurella's Guide to Lace and Linens, this mesh is Maglia de

see a more enlarged picture. Does nobody else think it is machine made?
Best wishes, from Antje in Spain.

likely to be a kink in the thread caused by poor tension. That's definitely
not a machine made feature, but as you say to identify lace as machine made you
do need to see the foot edge.
