About
Bobbin Lacemaking is a form of weaving not on a loom, but on a pillow with multiple threads attached to bobbins. It emerged around 1500 as a way of making adornments for fashionable clothing for the rich. It was also used to adorn the homes of the wealthy. It was a thriving industry until the 19th century, but now is mainly a leisure pursuit, with a few practitioners making a modest income.
