Dear all
I did Chantilly year 1 at the Kantcentrum in July this year, Lieve Pollet uses
turquoise for pairs that are carried with the gimp in Chantilly. She did say
it wasn't part of the official colour coding. It does make it clearer that
the pairs aren't thrown out which it would appear if a l
Thanks fort this exhaustive list. Never heard of turquoise, seems to me it
could be hard to tell apart from green and blue, colors may present
themselves differently on another screens or another printers. What is a
turnover stitch in terms of ctp (cross/twist/pin) anyway?
I started the discussion
Thank you, Greet, for the extended colour code. Most of the lacemakers I know
are familiar with the meanings for green, purple, red, and possibly yellow, but
most do not know the other ones. Sometimes we have long discussions about it at
my lace club.

I agree with Antje. Thanks for posting the extended list of color codes,
Greet. The Belgian color code is pure genius, and has been so informative
for me while reading working diagrams of the Flemish laces. It's one of the
best innovations in lace-making in the last century! (Can you tell? I like

Thank you vey much for your information.
I am a fond follower of the Belgian colour code and think that it is a
great invention. Knowing how to read it, we can understand many books and
try many techniques we do not know, because the colours of the lines show
us all! It is also very useful to take
Dear Arachne friends,
Maybe this will help too:
Before the invention of the color code, learning lace making was a slow
process. Thanks to the Bruges color code, this goes a lot faster.
The color code was developed shortly before the first world war in the
Bruges lace school and belonged to the l
For technical reasons I just need a color, without annotations like circles
or cross marks.
In the mean time I remembered some pages on Pinterest. One page of Ulrike's
book on Torchon uses brown for ctt.
There is also a spiral bound book "Jolanda's vogels" (birds) she uses also
brown but for cttct

Isn't it a little black circle at the turning part?

Good question. Might it be a green intersection (half stitch), little
hatch mark for another twist, then another green intersection (halfstitch)?
If there's no pin in the center of all that, it would pull up into a
turning stitch, so the diagram would be right for the thread movements.

Dear spiders
What is the Belgian color code for the turning stitch: cttct?

I presume that Belgian colour code is the one used by the Kantcentrum in Bruges.
The "standard" colour coding for BL working diagrams is:

Hello Delores.
Most recent books follow the Belgian Colour code, although it doesn't say it
is the Belgian one.
The colours used are:
Cloth stitch (CTC): violet
Whole st. (TCTC): red
Half St. (TC): green
Braid: blue
Gimp: yellow
Sometimes Dieppe (TTC pin TC) is represented by orange, instead of
It may well be they are one and the same thing, but personally, I would say a
chevron is deeper and a heart is more heart shaped like a chopping a corner out
of one side of a diamond.

I have two questions.
1. I have color codes in several of my books but have failed to find any
listed as the Belgian Color Code. Could someone list them for me?
2. In Torchon Lace, what is the difference between a chevron and a heart?
They appear to be the same so I thought the terms were inte
