Bobbin & Pillow
It is called bobbin lace because it uses bobbins (pincushions). Country or region,
The shape and table of the bobbin and the table (pillow) differ depending on the type of lace.
Move the bobbin and pin the thread along the sketch to create a pattern. It's like adding a braid and a woven fabric and dividing it by two, so it's close to a woven fabric.
History
The origin is said to be Italy and Scandinavia, but it seems that it is not clear. It is also said to have been derived from fishermen's nets.
It developed mainly in Europe in the Middle Ages. Many people may think that it is a hobby of aristocrats like Vermeer's paintings, but the fact is that teenagers woven it for aristocrats in the light of candles day and night. It has been.
Before the Industrial Revolution, lace was either bobbin lace or needle lace. Bobbin lace, which was replaced by machine-knitted lace by the Industrial Revolution, has been popularized as a souvenir and hobby by elderly women, mainly in Italy and Belgium, and continues to this day.
Types of bobbin lace
The name of bobbin lace is derived from the name of the region or region. Like Ryukyu Kasuri and Iyo Kasuri in Japanese textiles,
The name is the pattern that developed in that area.
In learning the race, the strains are roughly classified. It can be divided into continuous lace that can be woven with the same thread and intermittent lace that weaves while connecting patterns.

Continuous race
Torchon
Torsion lace
It is a lace with a geometric pattern. Since it intersects at 45 degrees, the pattern is easy to understand, easy to see, and easy to proceed, so it is the basis of bobbin lace.
Binch & Frandre

Below is Binche. Flanders meet at 45 degrees and Binche at 60 degrees.
Both are advanced versions of torsion, which can be done if you know the pattern of coloring and the way the thread should go. Binche knitted with 120 or more threads is for advanced users
Bucks Point
Buckspoint in the UK, French-speaking
It is a race called Lil, Shanti, etc. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word lace is such a gorgeous and cute tulle lace.

Russian
I will connect the leaf pattern to the tape lace. The feature is that it can be woven with a small number of pairs.
It seems that bobbin lace is still popular in Russia today, as images are actively uploaded in Russian on Instagram and so on.
Honiton & Rosaline

Similar to Honiton, there are Duchess, Whithof, and Milanese.
