Due to the wording, it looks like it's talking about one of the many lace guilds in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism).
There is an SCA wide lacemaking guild called "Arachne's Web" and then at least 3 different Kingdoms (geographic locations) have guilds also named "Arachne's Web" or something like it. After doing some searching, I found that the specific guild you are talking about (same wording) is within the Kingdom of the West (which is upper California, USA). Branwyn, member of the SCA, but not in a kingdom that has a lacemakers guild.
