Video #84 Beginner bobbin lace tutorial

Making medieval laces! What we now call fingerloop braiding was referred to as "lace making" in the medieval English (bobbin lace comes later and evolves basically out of this technique). We have two excellent 15th century sources that provide detailed and easily recreatable instructions for about 42 laces, some utilitarian, some decorative, many of which can be found in the archeological record as well as depicted in 15th century art! #making #craft #medieval #costume #medievaldress #medievalcr
