Facts about Lace

Lace is a lightweight fabric, patterned with holes, made by hand or machine. The holes can be formed by the removal of threads from a previously woven fabric, but is more commonly made when open spaces are created as part of the lace fabric.

Originally gold, silver, or linen threads were used to make lace. Nowadays handmade lace is often made from cotton thread. Manufactured lace may be made of synthetic fiber for durability.
