Written for the lacemaker with a grasp of the basic techniques, this book encourages the inventive lacemaker to create their own designs, whilst simultaneously providing a selection of patterns for the traditional hobby lacemaker. The written instructions are clear and brief, while a colour-coded key at the beginning of the book provides an at-a-glance guide to techniques and terminology ensuring the lacemaker need make only minimal reference to the text. The book includes instructions in English, French, German and Dutch.
