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 http://ribbonindustrymuseum.wordpress.com/ 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.) Devon
