This brings up a question that I have had on my mind for a while.
I am new to the world of bobbin lace (a little over a year) and only a few
years longer as a tatter.
I am still trying to get a mental grip on all the various types (styles,
techniques) of lace.
I know that most, if not all, of the lace in my church is machine made. Some
of it looks like the pattern was woven and a sizing used to hold it
together. No twist, no cross, no knots.
The one thing I have wondered about, that I also think I see in the eBay
quasi-shawl is that on the edges little threads are sticking out. It is the
existence of these threads that make me think that the lace in my church is
a simple weave that is trimmed at the end of the manufacturing process.
My question is this: Are there any traditional techniques that have these
short threads sticking out. I cannot tell about the eBay example, but on the
ones in my church these are definitely single cut threads, not at all like a
worker thread going around a pin.
Any information or resources would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Pat T.

Hello Francis
It's not Chantilly
It's not hand made
It's not even big enough to be a shawl.
It is a machine made scarf - probably Leavers machine.
