Lace Making
Needle lace, no matter the technique, is made with a needle and thread. There are different styles and methods, but in the end, needle lace involves working macramé-like knots around a core of threads. sometimes the core is small, sometimes thick, but the end result is a network of shapes and lines that has endless…and I do mean endless variety.
Bobbin Lace (COMING SOON!)
Bobbin lace was originally created as a faster way to make some of the patterns that were popular with needle lace. In just a few short decades, it had evolved into a textile art in its own right. The simple structure of a braid is elevated to a complexity that seems almost impossible. Yet the technique is simple. Bobbin lace requires more supplies than other laces, but it is worth the time and effort.
Crochet Lace (COMING SOON!)
Crochet lace has a beauty that is all its own. From imitating other forms of lace, to its own unique styles, working with nothing more than a hook and thread, you can create incredibly beautiful pieces of lace.
Knitted Lace (COMING SOON!)
Knitted lace is an art form like no other. With the simplicity of a “yarn-over” you can make holes appear in the fabric you’re making. With a little planning, or a good pattern, you can create works of art, like the one in this photo. The tradition of knitting with holes goes back, almost to the beginning of the craft. Come along on a journey to find your favorite kind of knitted lace.
