Bobbin lace is a handmade lace that has been in fashion since the 16th century. A "pricking" is a method of making bobbin laces. This involves drawing a pattern on parchment or paper and attaching it to a cushion or pillow. A number of threads, ranging from 8 to over 1,000, are looped over pins placed at the top. Each thread is wound around its neck with an elongated or bobbin-shaped spool at the lower end. Bobbins have many purposes. For more information buy a copy........
