Torchon
Torchon is a lace, which is made on a grid of 45 °. Because of this fixed grid, the laces are geometric. Curves and the like are difficult to implement on this grid. The thread used is usually a little thick, in any case thicker than the threads used in the Tule or Chantilly. Often linen is used, which makes the lace strong and fairly stiff.
There are several grounds in the Torchon, which can also in different stitches. The motifs are in cloth stitch or half stitch, sometimes surrounded by a contour thread. The outer edge is often made in a fan-shaped scallop in cloth stitch or whole stitch.
