Explore the world of Bobbin Lace with this book, which takes you
through simple Torchon ground pieces to scarves, purse and bags.
Bobbin lace may look complicated when you see a pillow set up with
dozens of bobbins, but it will seem far less daunting when you
realise that only four bobbins (two pairs) are in use at any one
time, and there are only two moves - twist and cross - that you can
do. While the basic lace stitches are common to all types of bobbin
lace, different lacemaking traditions developed different ways of
putting these stitches together. Bruges lace, for example, uses
less than a dozen pairs of bobbins and a relatively coarse thread
to create curved braids and flower-like motifs which are linked to
form the fabric; on the other hand point ground laces, such as
Chantilly or Bucks Point, are worked from one end to the other in
fine silk or cotton and may need a hundred pairs or more.
