A French translation (by Hélène Panitska) of a manual on traditional Cretan bobbin lace by Christina Koustouraki-Koukoulari, from the village of Gavalochori near Chania. It explains how to make the pillow, wind the bobbins, prepare thread, paper and patterns, and work the basic cloth stitch ("panaki") with picots and edge variations ("ouya", "fifikaki", "stylaki"). It also covers decorative motifs such as tulle, "filtiré", leaf, daisy and "koulourakia" rings, curved and pointed corners, and the older and newer Cretan lace styles. The photographs are not included; the text refers to the original Greek or the English translation.
