I would call it simply Flemish. According to me the grid is not like Mechlin, it has no short plaits in it.It is the Fond a cinq trous, which is special for Flemish lace, although The original Flemish lace is without gimp. Perhaps it is a mixture of both types. The Fond a cinq trous will be easier to make than the Mechlin fond.
