To continue the earlier discussion about Mechlin and Brussels lace, this
adds on Binche and Val as identifiers.
I think when most lace makers say "Val" they are thinking of the Revival Era
lace which had the so-called "square" ground with relatively dense
clothwork. Here is an example.

Having on occasions tried to make lace with one or other of our cats on my lap,
I can't for one minute imagine any professional lacemaker having a dog on
his/her lap, which would prevent easy continuation of work, and add the risk of
stray dog hair getting into the lace and ruining hours of work
While watching the Westminster Dog Show they talked about a dog that was the
lacemakers dog. Please see:
