The žlikrof

Idrija lace - a unique hand-made masterpiece, which has been created by diligent Idrija lacemakers for three centuries. It is the source of all kinds of ideas and creativity. Intertwining threads create countless bobbin lace and life stories.

THE ŽLIKROF

In Idrija, žlikrofi - a culinary specialty made from dough and filled with potatoes, bacon or cracklings and spices, served with various sauces – is simply a must.

So is Idrija lace, which is why we also made one in shape of a žlikrof. The technique used is that of the Idrija narrow tape lace with divided cloth stitch, eight pairs of bobbins and a cotton thread.

It can be used as a pendant, pin, picture, kitchen decoration...

The pattern was custom drawn by Tina Koder Gajzar for the Idrija Tourist Board.

The lace was made by Milena Kalan Frančeškin.

It is made of cotton thread.
