I have been making bobbin lace for nearly 40 years and in more recent years have worked more with wool. I grew up on a Merino sheep station out west and couldn’t see why we were not using our own natural fibre to make lace. Using very fine wool can look like a slightly heavier cotton but produces a wonderful article. Using 4 ply makes great scarves and shawls.
I have taught bobbin lace for many years and love helping others see what a wonderful craft it is.

Bobbin lace is a wonderful old craft that seems to have started in England and the Continent and is still being made around the world. Traditionally it was made with very fine threads and often on roller pillows. Mostly made by women. Today many different threads are used including wool.
