Loops and knots: lace-making

Lace-making is the most intricate textile craft. Lace is made by intertwining threads to create a continuous fabric without a backing. The example shown here is bobbin lace. Thread is wound on bobbins, which are passed around pins inserted in a pillow. The pins form the pattern.
