I suppose it's part of our nature that as we speak and communicate in
English, and many of us can't/don't speak another language, we assume that
the majority of lacemakers can speak English. I haven't tried it, but if you
googled the words for lace from the 'International Lace Dictionary':
dentelle - French
Spitzen -German
kant - Dutch
encaje - Spanish
puntes - Catalan
trina - Italian
merletto - Italian
renda - Portuguese
knipling - Dutch
spets - Swedish
pitsi - Finish
nyytinki - Finnish
csipke - Hungarian
krajka - Czech
that's without the variations such as lace maker and the languages such as
Russian and Japanese you'd probably find whole world of lacemaking that we
didn't know existed.
