I don’t know where my copy of Le Pompe is at the moment so I cannot check. It is an interesting quote though I would question its accuracy. In what way does anyone need lace? Or even find it useful? Unless you have to make a lace trimmed dress, lace curtains, or similar? Lacemaking was useful in the areas and times of such things and lacemakers needed to make some money though I don’t think that is what it is trying to say. Am I missing something? Perhaps it is because most of my ancestry consists of country peasants whose lives would not have included any lace.
