Talk:Lace

Definition
Talk What is Lace? The article doesn't say.

Added a definition, but it reads a little bit like "Lace is fabric with holes in it." Boojum 04:12, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

Usage of lace
"Traditionally, lace was used to make tablecloths and doilies, but today it is also used in clothing."

What? Lace had been used in clothing before doilies were invented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.40.152 (talk) 15:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Lacemakers
I am trying to find out if stoolball was also played by lacemakers.In olden times lacemakers used a candle stool to work lace when sunlight was not strong enough or if work continued after sunset.This was a four leged stool with 4-5 holes in the middle of the stool to hold flaskes which were filed with water and placed inverted in these holes. In the middle was a large candle which reflected the light onto the flaskes thus giving more light to the workers.Could lacemakers on festive days play games -such as stoolball - useing there stool. the flaskes could easly be removed, unscrewing a leg which acted as a bat and using a pincochine as a ball.

Now most of lace is produced by machines with teh development of technology. For example,Woven lace is formed by the perpendicular interwoven warp and weft yarn, which is controled by jacquard mechanism. Usually take cotton, silk, nylon yarn, rayon, metallic yarn, polyester yarn, acrylic yarn as raw material, weaving with yarn-dyed process technology in shuttle or shuttleless looms using plain, twill, satin and jacquard and other accessories. Cotton lace use dyed cotton yarn as warp and weft yarn. The based warp and weft yarn use fine yarn or plied yarn. The flower warp and weft yarn use the double plied yarn of fine yarn, or three folded yarn of fine yarn for special one. Most of bottom is based on tabby organizations,but there are a few other small patterns in honeycomb tissue. Flower is based on satin weave organizations, or some special organization.(Reference：http://www.lace8.com/new/lace-fabric-produce-technology.html) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 11sjchen1 (talk • contribs) 09:53, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Adding a History Section
I have added a history section to this article and I am inviting people to contribute research to help highlight how lace making crosses cultures and borders. --Eastbayway 20:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eastbayway (talk • contribs) 20:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

Whether or not the passage from Exodus that was mentioned represents an accurate translation of the word that has been translated from Hebrew as "lace" is questionable. For example, whereas the King James Version reads "And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue" the International Version reads "The rings of the breastplace are to be tied to the ephod with blue cord." In other versions, it has been translated as "thread." 71.158.160.113 05:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Lace-making → Lace – Lace redirects to lace-making. If there is only going to be one article, I think it should be lace. The current content would be fine at the new name. -- Kjkolb 05:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Lace tape
I thought Battenberg lace was a kind of tape lace, not cutwork.. 75.61.98.147 (talk) 21:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

You are correct. To make battenburg lace a tape of pre-made bobbin lace is laid down following the outline of the pattern. The fillings are made with a needle and thread uning the needlepoint technique. Noraslace (talk) 22:28, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Kenmare Lace
Kenmare lace is an example of Needlpoint Lace, it is not spam promotion as there are plenty of other examples of types of lace posted, stop removing the reference please —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finmix (talk • contribs) 19:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

In response to: No need to prioritize one variety of needle lace over all others by Devra. If there is no need to prioritise lace (or give examples as I call it) then please remove the references to Shetland lace and to Irish Crochet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finmix (talk • contribs) 20:59, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Painting reference
Colette van Steyvoort seems to refer to a 1945 book which I could not verify, but the painting speaks for itself, though a close-up of the painting in the Louvre museum might help. Jo Pol (talk) 19:19, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Content of article generally
This article is very poor in regards to what lace actually is, which should be the main focus. I am no expert in lace, just someone passing through, and I learned very little about what lace really is. Just some feedback. Vrrtigo (talk) 20:38, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Types
Are the types meant to be examples? Because the pictures beneath mention types which don't seem to be included. Filet lace isn't mentioned. (It isn't a kind of crochet so presumably filet crochet is different.) What are the criteria for including a type and what makes a sub-type? It seems quite confusing. --86.5.88.131 (talk) 05:52, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
