Lace Research

Reference: Lace and Lacemaking by Alice-May Bullock, 1981

Notes:

Modern Definition: "a fine openwork plain or decorated fabric"

'Till mid-17th Century Definition: "narrow braid worked on a loom, or a silk or thread cord for drawing two edges together, such as a shoe lace or a stay lace."

-lace was grouped with passament (trimmings)

-bobbin lace is also called: Pillow lace, bone lace or bone work

-Early bobbins were made of bone

Lace is made up of two main parts: 1) the solid pattern, mat or clothwork (toile), and 2) the ground (fond) which joins the pattern together

- ground can either be network or bride ground

-network can be plain or fancy net

-bride ground is called such for the little irregular bars (brides) which join together the different pattern parts

-the small loops or bars decorating the edge of lace are called pearls or purls (picot)
