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.
