What reading level is Bobbins of Belgium : a book of Belgian Lace, Lace-Workers, Lace-Schools And Lace-Villages book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its clear, transparent mesh originated in the city from which it is named, where in 1788 there were as many as 16,000 women employed on it. Its fragility results from the fact that but four threads (instead of the customary eight of Point de Paris and Malines, and of the mother of them all, Valenciennes) are used in twisting and braiding the meshes. On its light, clear mesh, the designs are now often very elegant and free, tho the traditional Point de Lille edging has a straight border and rath...er rigid pattern. They are always outlined by a heavier thread, as are the flowers of the Point de Paris and Malines, but un- •rS BOBBINS OF BELGIUM like these other laces, the Point de Lille is characterized by little pois, or peas or dots, scattered through the mesh. It is sometimes confused with Malines because of the transparency of its mesh, which, however, is not so delicate as that of Malines, nor so difficult to make, nor, because of its fewer threads, so solid.
One of the most popular and more solid varieties of Point de Lille is better known as Point d'HoUande, because it is chiefly sold to the well-to-do Dutch peas- ants for their handsome bonnets.
