The Technique Of Honiton Lace (1990).

Description

I grade the book as in ‘Near Fine’ condition.

I grade the dust jacket as in ‘Very Good’ condition.

After a brief introduction to the history of lacemaking in Devon and a section on equipment and preparation, there are step-by-step instructions using simple patterns suitable for the beginner.  Then, over 50 patterns are included, each with working notes, pattern, working diagrams as required and photographs of the detail of the finished work. Many new filling stitches and working methods devised by the author are included as well as the more traditional. A final section provides a handy reference to stitches and techniques.
