Thanks Annette.
This is very helpful.
 
There seems to have been something called a ribbon loom which  could weave 
multiple narrow ribbons simultaneously. There are some photos of the  loom 
on the site of the Comines Ribbon Industry Museum

I wonder if "ribbon" is the key word for this question. Did  you run across 
anything like this in your research on the Borris Lace. (I have  the book.)
