Description
Bobbin lace is a lace textile made by braiding and twisting lengths of thread, which are wound on bobbins to manage them. As the work progresses, the weaving is held in place with pins set in a lace pillow, the placement of the pins usually determined by a pattern or pricking pinned on the pillow.
Bobbin lace is also known as pillow lace and bone lace, because early bobbins were made of bone or ivory.
Bobbin lace is one of the two major categories of hand-made laces, the other being needlelace, derived from earlier cutwork and reticella
In French: Dentelle aux fuseaux.

This is fascinating, and the photo is very well done. Thank you for sharing. By the way, there is a third method for making lace, called "tatting". My grandmother used to do it. It uses a small shuttle (containing thread) which is moved in, out, and around as the lace is made.

This is very interesting Michel! I hope we can get a good close look at the finished piece, although zoom does help. The wooden holders are also fascinating to an old woodbasher. Reminds me a bit of some parts I turned for a very old spinning wheel to get it working again.
