Today, we have an intro to lace weaving patterns. This overview of the world of weaving lace is divided into 2 categories – hand-manipulated patterns, and loom-controlled patterns. Both create light, airy fabric when woven with a light touch. But the variety of effects you can weave is broad and so, so fun! Enjoy!

Show Notes –

Hand-Manipulated Lace Patterns – In this episode, I mention both Leno and Brooks Bouquet because I have a touch of experience with them. However, in this great Gist article, they refer to Danish Medallions and Spanish Lace as two other great examples of hand-manipulated lace patterns. So I say go crazy and try them all! Why not? Here’s the link to show you how. 

Case for Lace – WAY back in the history of A Handwoven Experience, I recorded an early episode all about lace. And while it’s an oldie, it is definitely a goodie! Check out “A Case for Lace” right here.  (Little bit of trivia for you – I was weaving lace when the group came up with the idea to do a Weave Along!)

October Weave Along

You’re invited to join us for a month-long weaving adventure this October! The goal is to start and finish a lace project alongside weavers from all over the world. It’s a perfect mix of creativity and community, and we’re saving you a seat. Simply go over to the October Weave Along Central Page to see all the program details and find out how to participate – https://tinyurl.com/OWAL2025
