I live in the county of Northamptonshire - the county was once considered
the boot and shoe 'capital' of the UK ;o) As far as I am aware the laces
used in the boot and shoe industry were/are not made in the area.
In the north of the county women/children listed as 'lacemakers' were
employed in machine made net embroidery under various titles - lace runner,
lace embroiderer, frame lace maker, cotton winder, network embroiderer,
purl/pearl worker.
