Bobbin Lace

Yvonne has always been interested in learning how to make lace. This spring when she was in Belgium she bought some bobbins and was given some hand made lace from relatives. 

Last month she attended Lace Day at Northern Lights Lace Makers.  She learned the basic knots and bought a book that she is working her way through. 

Yvonne brought her bobbin lace tools and gave us a short demonstration. The steps to make the knots are very simple, but the precision needed for such a fine craft is where the skill comes in. Looks like Yvonne is going to be a lace maker, along with all her other crafts and skills!!
