An
Excerpt:
"It is much easier to learn to make bobbin lace than it is
to learn to knot or to crochet. Personal lessons are not at all necessary.
Tochon is
easiest for the beginner to
manage and learned first. The tools and materials for making bobbin
lace are few and inexpensive. They are the pillow,
bobbings, pricker, pins, patterns, and thread."
