I agree with the first part of Adele’s message. There isn’t a goddess of lace
because lacemaking postdates the age of specific gods and goddesses. Even in
more modern polytheistic cultures this would be the case because there is no
evidence (as far as I’m aware) of any lace existing prior
Personally I identify most with the namesake of this very list, Arachne!
Technically she wasn’t a goddess, but as we all know she was a weaver who was
turned into a spider so I’ve always thought of her as a patroness of lace. :)

I’ve just been asked who the Goddess of Lace is. Never having heard of her, I
thought I’d go to the experts.
Is there a Goddess of Fishnets? Or Knots? or Weaving?
Do we start with Greeks or Romans? Or Egyptians? Or Celtic or Norse?
