Hello Miriam, Chantilly was made in Bayeux also that's why sometimes it is called Bayeux-lace. As the lady from Geraarsbergen, who teaches this lace, told me there is no difference. There are little differences between Chantilly and Blonde. And also between the other tulleground-laces. in the 19th century Chantilly lace used to be made in Bayeux by the Lef�bure family and it is indeed called Chantilly from Bayeux ny the way it took 10 lacers 10 years to make one of those gorgeous shawls ladies used to wear over their crinolines ..and for those who don't know it Chantilly was made by stretches of about 20cm x 10cm which were then sewn together with an invisible stitch .. as i said in my preceding mail the main differences are * the stitches : they all use tulle ground but Chantilly has only grids in the patterns, Bayeux has grids and clothstitch, Blonde de Caen has cloth stitch only * the threads : Chantilly is only highly twisted black silk , Bayeux is only very fine cotton and blonde de Caen is only blonde silk (don't know the name of it in english .. it's untwisted blonde silk ) it doesn't prevent you from making a black lace with loosely twisted silk and both grids and clothstitch but it won't be chantilly ... nor Bayeux ... just a superb black lace you made with all your heart and that's what counts .. dominique ********** L'ADSL A 20 EUR/MOIS********** Avec Tiscali, l'ADSL est � 20 EUR/mois.
