There is an item coming up on this program a little later about the Lacemakers
of somewhere in Southern India which is (according to CBC) the last place
where lace is made by hand.
Not sure what type of lace. I'll listen to the article and post the
web-address later so that others can hear it.
I just listened to this - it was very interesting. I'll let Malvary
tell you about it, since I didn't hear it from the beginning.
Once the CBC gets the program up in a few days you'll be able to listen
to the program online, at

Perhaps they meant making lace by hand commercially. For their living.

Apart from all of us, check out this link:
In Galithia, in the north of Spain, there is still handmade-in-Spain lace
for sale, including in Santiago de Compostela airport.
In Camarinas I bought a metre of beautiful lace, about 1 1/2 wide, for 8
Euros. I could have had exactly the same design worked in a courser thread,
giving a lace
Almagro, a traditional lace location in the centre of Spain, there is
lace for sale too.
There are several shops with lace hanging of walls and over tables,
pieces as doilies, tablecloths, hankies,etc.
It is all handmade. and the lacemakers work fine.

Yes, that's exactly what they meant. And the report may have been
advertised as being about the last place in the world etc., etc.,
but the report includes information on the competition the Indians get
from
I found the article interesting but I really wanted to see what they were
talking about.
Of course it turns out that the the name in the in the blub on the CBC One
page Cape Comorin, is treated as a former name and to find the lace I had to
use the name Kanyakumari.
The best I have found so far
