What is "bobbin lace"?
Bobbin lace is a technique for creating intricate lace patterns using a series of threads wound on small spools called bobbins. The lace is made by weaving and twisting the threads together, often on a padded surface or lace pillow, following a pattern. The bobbins help manage the threads and keep them organized as the lace is constructed. This method allows for detailed and delicate designs and is commonly used to make decorative lace for clothing, accessories, and home textiles.
