Bobbin Lace
Bobbin lace is a type of handmade lace which is also known as Pillow lace or bone lace in various parts of the world. These laces are made with a variety of multiple thread weaving techniques, where groups of threads are plaited, interwoven and twisted. Traditionally made from linen, silk, wool and cotton threads, bobbin laces are presently made from an extensive variety of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, precious metals wires and other filaments as well.
These textile items are usually created by twisting and braiding lengths of threads or yarns which are wrapped onto bobbins for easy and simple management.
