Is it a flower? A mandala? A spirograph created by a particularly creative chilld? Even though we all see different things in this lace, we end up agreeing that it's one of our favorites. Intricately detailed, sweetly beautiful, and the perfect accent for clothing (try adding it to a skirt hem or trimming lingerie), interior decorating (beautiful edging pillows, sheets, curtains, bedskirts, etc), crafts (great for scrapbooking, fancying up gift bags, making crowns, wands, and dresses for your favorite little fairy princess, etc), and so many other uses.

Do note that this lace is woven face-to-face with another piece of lace and then cut apart, so there will be small threads visible on both edges. You can see an example of two laces, uncut, here. For better structural integrity, you may want to carefully clip them (or use Fray Check or something similar). Otherwise these threads, if caught, can unravel for a short length.

Produced in a controlled environment clear of unnatural fibers and chemically-produced materials, this lace is free of chemical residues and toxins that might be present in the production of polyester laces. The lace is made of certified organic cotton sewn onto a cellulose backing which is then melted away by hot water. (Conventional lace production uses chemicals to melt away the cellulose.) The process is organic from seed to finished product. Stiff at first, the lace softens dramatically when washed. You will need to iron it once washed if you want it to be straight; if, on the other hand, you're okay with the slightly wrinkled look that we prefer, you'll be fine without going through that extra effort. The natural color of undyed, unbleached cotton, the maker describes this lace as "Natural Ivory Cotton" with a matte finish.
