Getting Started - How To Make Lace

Whether learning as an adult, or as a young lacemaker, the Lace Guild has plenty of resources for you.

​

On this page you can find out how to wind your bobbins, do basic stitches such as cloth stitch and half stitch, and add a bead to your lace.

​

There is also a link to a simple pattern to start you off, and several other easy patterns to try.

​

The Lace Guild produces a quarterly magazine for new lacemakers, called Early Days In Lacemaking, which you can subscribe to as a member of the Guild. (This magazine replaces the Guild's Young Lacemaker Magazine which was aimed mainly at under 18s).
