Do tesón e axilidade das mans destas atlánticas saen encaixes de gran delicadeza. Xunto con outras nove mulleres forman parte dunha asociación de palilleiras que dedican horas a esta labor.

 

Norma, Mari Carmen e Bea son, ademais, amas de casa e aprenderon este oficio ao son do repicar dos palillos de madeira sendo nenas. O froito deste traballo tradicional son uns delicados encaixes moi apreciados para o  sector da moda.

The tenacity and agility of the hands of these Atlantics produce laces of great delicacy. Along with nine other women, they are part of an association of bobbinweavers who dedicate hours to this work.


Norma, Mari Carmen and Bea are also housewives and learned this trade to the sound of wooden bobbins as girls. The results of this traditional work are delicate laces that are highly appreciated in the fashion sector.
