By it's size I would say cloth as opposed to hanky.
The patterns are very like the sol lace patterns from
further south, meditterrean area, early last century

When I started off with bobbin lace I worked on a bolster pillow .
When the design was too big we just went around the pillow another
time, pinning the layer over the pervious one. We kind of rolled the

to America in 1981 was WHITE and ECRU. God forbid that anything be mixed!
