Lace by definition has thread/yarn/rope/cord that is worked to make something with holes that ..... this is hard!
There are so many types of lace now with similarities to other crafts - weaving and needlework for example that defining lace in a broad sense is very difficult. I find I look at some lace and although I know the technique used is bobbin lace I see weaving - expecially some of the more recent work. Then there is needlelace that uses embroidery techniques to give a lace look. Wasn't the first laces made using a needle and thread? then copied by using bobbins, shuttle, crochet hooks and knitting needles? I have no better definintion at this stage. regards Jenny Brandis Kununurra, Western Australia - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
