Do you know what bobbin lace is?

The idea bobbin lacemaking first originated in Idrija. Well, at least in Slovenia. It is a traditional lace fabric made by interlacing threads wound on bobbins. If that sounds dull, stop reading and listen instead – to the rhythmic sound of bobbins spun by skilled lacemakers of Idrija. Their craft’s rhythm is truly meditative.

Recorded in Idrija.
