Making lace
The Bouck family of Perth a year ago purchased what remained of Bojud Knitting Mills and continues to make lace under a new name: Willow Street Lace. While some textile mills in the area have survived, Willow Street Lace is the only mill in New York and one of only a handful in the country that make lace. Posted on March 28, 2008.
