Description

This book presents for the first time a studied examination of an actual historic Shetland Lace shawl with invaluable detailed colour scans, charts and life-size pictures. This leads to a discussion of the lace wool yarn of a century ago and of its creation. For those interested in Shetland Lace history, some relevant mid-1800s source material is included.
