Cluny de Brioude ; dentelle polychrome ; modèles inédits by Odette Arpin
This is a substantial book on the use of polychrom (colour) in cluny lace with outstanding diagrams and images throughout the book

What works well?

• The diagrams throughout the book use a consistent colour plan which is explained at the start of the book.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?​

• Whilst this book is in French this should not prove an issue for those who do not speak French, check out my post on translations
• This book is out of print

This book has been reviewed on the lace gumnuts website
Not to be confused with Cluny de Brioude by Mick Fouriscot and Odette Arpin, published a few years earlier, which is mainly mats and edges.
This new book is a treasure trove of motifs, jewellery and a few small mats.   The diagrams in the introduction are large and clear, so are the working diagrams for each item.
With Christmas just around the corner, I would recommend every Gumnut puts this at the top of their wish list for a Christmas present.   It inspires even me (who does not get on very well with leaves, they don’t like me) to try something from this book – trouble is, which pattern!
