Lace Fabrics
Lace is usually made from cotton thread or synthetic fibers. There are many different types of lace, which are usually named for the process by which they are made.
Needle Lace is made by using a thread and needle. It is the most flexible of the lace making arts. Cutwork Lace is made by removing threads from a woven background. The remaining threads are filled with embroidery. Bobbin Lace is made with a bobbin and a pillow. The bobbins hold the thread which are woven together and held in place with pins stuck in the pattern on the pillow.
