One of my most shameful of 'victimless crimes' from the past decade is tearing one of my pieces of featherweight antique French lace. The most intricate thing (and totally weightless, which only adds to the astonishing quality) that you've ever seen and I tore it accidentally. I still literally wince to think of it-- I'm wincing as type.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 ohhh man! I just winced for you boo 😭 I do the same thing!

IKR? My one corridored brain could never do that. I can't even enjoy eating if I have to talk while doing it (I usually just stopped eating unconsciously). I suck at multitasking. 😢 These ladies are awesome!
@@LadyVoldemortfinally! I thought I am the only one not willing to talk while eating. And multitasking does not exist as now the scientists say.

i actually learned how to do this and the movements are quite easy to learn. it doesn't take long for anyone to get to a decent speed and make an also decent looking lace product :)
In the 1990’s i took a class at a needlepoint shop taught by a lovely lady in her 70’s. She had been part of a group that in the 1950’s went to interview the child cottage industry lacemakers. They often had little education other than a little rote learning taught by their dame. They had little chants and stuff so set a rhythm and speed up the work. A light source such as a candle, rarely a lantern, was set up, and the children, usually girls, were seated on stools around the light. The best and fastest in the first ring, often three rings. They would hold contests to see who could pin 700 pins first. Once a week, the lace buyer would come around, cut off the work and measure it and pay by the length and quality. Some went to the dame, some went to buy candles, sometimes the cost of getting a little iron pot of coals to put under the skirts for warmth. Smaller children were making simple patterns to help the family eat. Older girls would be saving their pay to get married. A lot of those contacted didn’t want to talk about any of it. They managed to coax some, to document and keep some of it alive. She was teaching, trying to share the love not the evil of lacemaking. I made a huge fan “pillow” to make a special project that held 400 pairs of bobbins. I had made two others for smaller projects. She had a wonderful collection of bobbins, art forms of their own, and each had a story. I made one from walnut and put sterling silver wire for the weight loop holding rose quartz and sterling beads. A personal thank you for her stories and her teaching. I’m still making lace. But. About five years after the classes, I stopped by the shop on a Saturday to buy a few spools of linen thread for a project. She was teaching class, and I stopped to say hi. She noticed the spools I was holding and started crying. All the classes she had taught over the years, the number that continued after a year was almost zero. I was still making lace, after five years. She is long gone now, but this video is beautiful. Many talented people keeping the art alive!
The rhythmic clacking and the chatting is so relaxing. I feel like a child all over again, dozing off to the comforting sound of my mom cleaning and talking on the phone in the other room.
My grandmother used to do this. She would make a bedspread for each couple who got married in our family. Unfortunately, my grandmother was in her mid 70's when I was born, so by the time I got married, her vision was poor and she could no longer do it. She was a seamstress back in her days. Her bedspreads were so gorgeous. RIP grandma, I ❤you always
@@goblin_girl5061 it's not meant to be sad. Just fond memories. Believe it or not, my granddaughter has been teaching me to crochet. I figured I'd start there, but I'm not too good at it. I keep on practicing.
I truly believe this is one of the most vital pieces of a thriving life and the lack of it is one of the reasons that Americans are coming unglued and are more burnout than a banked campfire.
Beautiful to see people doing hobbies together in such a civilized manner co existing and chatting with one another doing positive things and talking about food recipes now days u can’t have a gathering of people this big without an argument and saying bad words the new generation have no manners and very few have talent it’s like the gene pool is washed out not much left of good to give
And hold conversation at the same time, stopping and starting intermittently with no noticeable place marking!! I can hardly remember to take my home exit if I'm driving and talking on the phone at the same time!
Short answer, practice! Long answer is that these patterns are often set sequences repeated over and over until you reach the length you want - and within each repeat, there's smaller ones that make up major motifs. Much like knitting, with practice you learn the pattern you're using and learn how to 'read' your work to see where you are in your pattern and then remember what to do next. Plus, with experience comes the knowledge of how to fudge things where needed.
In Portugal we call them BILROS, and lace is RENDA. I think the women are from Galiza in Spain, it's a somewhat similar language to portuguese. We have a saying that relates lace with fishing ports "Where there are nets there's lace" because it was the women who fixed the nets.
@@MariaTorres-hc5uqThere actually is a type of lace that was patterned after the fishing nets, but I can't remember the name. Maybe fillet lace? You will see what they call fillet lace at antique stores, but those are really a type of crochet.
@@monicaluketich6913I crochet. What you refer to is filet, you're right. Crochet uses lengths of chained stitches rather than knotted strands but it's the same description. The word comes from the same root as filigree used in fine metalwork.
Read the history of bobbin lace sometime. I can't really remember the details now, but seems like it had something to do with the way fishing nets were made. I'm probably completely off on that, but I do remember it was an interesting story.
The fishing nets were a different type of lace. The bobbin lace goes back a couple of thousand years. I seem to remember a group of archeologists found on a Greek island thousands of them and thought they must have been money or something like that. The women from the area took one look at them and then showed the archeologists that they were the same bobbins they were using now to make lace.
@@monicaluketich6913 I do Torchon lace which is just one form of bobbin lace. When I learned to make lace I was still raising children and I didn't have time to go more indepth with the other more intricate laces. Torchon reminds me of fishing nets to a point so that may be why I was remembering something to do with fish nets. lol
Probably in America, meanwhile, in other parts of the world it still thrives. I remember people were worried about the loss of embroidery in the mid 90s then in the late 90s knitting and crochet. Now they're thriving. Embroidery never slowed down in Central, South and Southeast Asia, Middle East, or parts of Africa. It was just America. Tatting is TRULEY becoming a lost art.
@@Goldphool Nah, the documentary was in another country. The elders talked about how the _youngsters_ don't want to nor do they have the interest in keeping it going.
@@EconaelGaming Sure, I will. I have to find it. It was one of the videos about _keeping cultures and traditions alive_ . As soon as I find it again I definitely will. I'm off to look for it now.
Years and years of experience in those nimble fingers. What an incredible old art. Now you know how nobility were able to wear such lavish garments in the 16th century.
Lol, it's "awe." Think of the word "awesome," with something being full of awe. I don't think I've seen someone use "ahh" instead, but it did give me a small giggle. No offense, and I'm sharing this with good intentions. I'm not trying to shame or anything.
Lacemaking is a beast of a craft. The dedication, patience and skill necessary to even make one small piece are truly impressive. Love this little party of ladies, hope they had fun!
I knew that lace is very time-consuming to make and a machine can't really do a good job, but I had no idea THIS was the original process??? Am I the only one that's astounded that it was THIS complicated? I definitely wasn't imagining anything like it
I'm a chair caner. People stare with their mouths hanging open and then gasp..."that's a lost art!" But this. This I do not want to learn! OMG! Kudos to the lace ladies!!!
@bellemusecore you soak the cane in water so it's pliable. Not dangerous at all. It's easy; just over, under, over, under... for HOURS AND HOURS! 😂 Of course the trick is to know which ones are over and which ones are under. 😉
The sound is so soothing. Even their conversations, which I can't understand, add a touch of magic to the scene. 😊 Their work is so delicate and hard to believe that it's completely made without the use of machinery.
I was gonna say if anybody else appreciated. The tinkling sound especially when it was from afar It is the sound I imagine of almost like snowflakes falling. It's very twinkly And soothing with the little pats I would love for them to record Ambiently it would be lovely!🎉
Oh what I wouldn't give to come to Spain with my homemade Galacian style lace pillow and make lace with you all. Haven't touched my bobbins in over a month since losing my father. I need to get my lace making mojo back
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s 1 year 2 months since my dear Dad passed away. So heartbreaking. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please try and look after yourself ❤
If he ever complimented one of your pieces that might be a good one to remake. Just an idea ❤ Take your time, grief takes much longer than society seems to expect us to move on. Be gentle with yourself
@@annedavis3340 He complemented me on every piece of lace I made. It didn't matter if I was making lace, knitting, crocheting, tatting, quilting, spinning yarn or weaving as I shared every piece with him and he was impressed with each piece. But he really liked the cloud pattern and he had seen the start of me making the rain pattern that accompanied it. He was eager to see how it turned out.
This is beautiful to watch for several reasons! Community , friendship, fresh air, Incredible skill, and a gorgeous handmade product! All of these things don't exist much anymore! Thanks for sharing!❤
My friend and I were just talking about this. We were trying to like put into words that beautiful lace thing that these talented incredible women do and here's a video about it. So thank you I'm going to send it to her.
I don't know how they do it. It's so amazing. I couldn't keep track of all those bobbins let alone fly through them like they do. It's really impressive.
@@JennyRose1776 Some spelling will autocorrect and some people who post comments don't notice. It can be annoying. I have to be careful to check my comments. I also don't want to accidentally post something offensive that I never intended. But because autocorrect put it there.
Wow!!!!! I've never wonder how they were made till now. I'm so use to the factory made types that you forgotten that lace existed centuries ago. Beautiful and the dedication to keep the craft alive just inspiring. I hope the all the ancient and long forgotten crafts be revived and kept alive for future generations.
It's actually pretty easy to learn. There's only two movements (a twist and a cross), and your never working with more than four bobbins at the time. There's some pretty good books that show you the basics and that have some simple patterns so you know where to put your pins. I'm a Flemish lacemaker and create mostly on a round lace pillow. Experienced lacemakers can tell the region of where the lace is made based on background and shapes.
There's a documentary about life in a small UK town before it became industrialized. There were women who knitted while walking and their hands were so fast, the camera couldn't keep up with the movements.
Lace making looks so incredible and I know for a fact I could never do what these amazing people are doing. Makes me appreciate the gorgeousness of lace even more.
I love fiber arts. It makes me sad that so much of it is becoming a lost art, but I think with social media capturing and showing these things there are younger people willing to learn (like Shetland lace knitting). LOVE that! Though I know if I tried this it would end up in massive tangled knots and tears, lol.
People who want this type of community and are in the fiber arts hobby/skill/whatever I suggest looking into your local fiber guild. I live in the middle of nowhere and we even have one. It’s a great place for more information or expertise not to mention the community is great if you’re into that!
@@moonhunter9993 they said "I love" so they have a preference, it's not like they're saying it's better than other types, it's just what they like best.
God bless the people who refuse to let an art form die out
Amen!

I'm a chair caner. People stare with their mouths hanging open and then gasp..."that's a lost art!" But this. This I do not want to learn! OMG! Kudos to the lace ladies!!!
I kinda do
Chair caning sounds difficult! Are the canes quite flexible? It sounds slightly dangerous to me 😅❤
@bellemusecore you soak the cane in water so it's pliable. Not dangerous at all. It's easy; just over, under, over, under... for HOURS AND HOURS! 😂 Of course the trick is to know which ones are over and which ones are under. 😉
Why I read "chair cancer" 😭😭
The sound is so soothing. Even their conversations, which I can't understand, add a touch of magic to the scene. 😊 Their work is so delicate and hard to believe that it's completely made without the use of machinery.
I had the same thought, well said 😊
Sounds like they were talking about numbers
That's when lace cost a fortune. This particular type is known as Bobbin lace still practiced by certain cultures and hobbyists.
I was gonna say if anybody else appreciated. The tinkling sound especially when it was from afar It is the sound I imagine of almost like snowflakes falling. It's very twinkly And soothing with the little pats I would love for them to record Ambiently it would be lovely!🎉
They are talking about the party or celebration on Sunday, and something about what a preast said.
😮I want one of whatever it is they're making!
Oh what I wouldn't give to come to Spain with my homemade Galacian style lace pillow and make lace with you all. Haven't touched my bobbins in over a month since losing my father. I need to get my lace making mojo back
🎉PLEASE DO
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you feel like making lace again soon. ♥️ You would be welcome to join us!
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s 1 year 2 months since my dear Dad passed away. So heartbreaking. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please try and look after yourself ❤
If he ever complimented one of your pieces that might be a good one to remake. Just an idea ❤
Take your time, grief takes much longer than society seems to expect us to move on. Be gentle with yourself
@@annedavis3340 He complemented me on every piece of lace I made. It didn't matter if I was making lace, knitting, crocheting, tatting, quilting, spinning yarn or weaving as I shared every piece with him and he was impressed with each piece. But he really liked the cloud pattern and he had seen the start of me making the rain pattern that accompanied it. He was eager to see how it turned out.
Lace makong is like the boss level of all things knitting. Only the devoted can do it!
Weaving, not knitting, but yes!
That is amazing. Never seen that before. Love the sounds tòo!!
This is beautiful to watch for several reasons! Community , friendship, fresh air, Incredible skill, and a gorgeous handmade product! All of these things don't exist much anymore! Thanks for sharing!❤
They moved the bobbins so fast my eyes can't keep up!
O Nome das madeiras são Bilros...está é a Renda de Bilros Portuguesa ❤
Man, I would lose my place instantly, even if there were multiple colors involved...
They are extremely talented!❤
This an art that machines try to replicate but will never be able to truly replace! This is community and support!
I got SO much love for our elders. Idc where they are from. Treasures of wisdom and skills. GOD bless them.
Wow what an art❤
Fabulous!!! Beautiful craft and wonderful companionship
the ultimate level of friendship bracelets
Amazing skills❤
BLESSED LADIES may the young come to Learn THE SPLENDID CRAFT
We need to carry on this beautiful artwork. Skills like this sadly disappear when generation passes away.
É um trabalho admirável 😲
This is Skilled Women 💪💪💪
Honestly I could probably fall asleep listening to these ladies talk and work.
My friend and I were just talking about this. We were trying to like put into words that beautiful lace thing that these talented incredible women do and here's a video about it.
So thank you I'm going to send it to her.
Threading those bobbins look like another Masterpiece in itself 🎉
I don't know how they do it. It's so amazing. I couldn't keep track of all those bobbins let alone fly through them like they do. It's really impressive.
It's the ASMR for me. Love lace 🤍🩵
That is the knowledge of centuries playing out in front of our eyes. It is incredible to see. Thank you for sharing this!
These women are amazing!! 😍 I can't believe how good they are❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
This is why Lisa is so expensive and rightly so. Beautiful work.
Who's Lisa?
@@JennyRose1776 they meant lace.
@@JennyRose1776😂
@@JennyRose1776 Some spelling will autocorrect and some people who post comments don't notice. It can be annoying. I have to be careful to check my comments.
I also don't want to accidentally post something offensive that I never intended. But because autocorrect put it there.
You mean handmade lace can be expensive. Isn't there cheaper mass produced lace or lace by machines too?
Jesus christ the way they toss the threads around and it seems random but then a work of art comes out is AMAZING
Wow!!!!! I've never wonder how they were made till now. I'm so use to the factory made types that you forgotten that lace existed centuries ago. Beautiful and the dedication to keep the craft alive just inspiring. I hope the all the ancient and long forgotten crafts be revived and kept alive for future generations.
The wonderful thing is this craft or art is done by people across the world who don’t speak the same language
Castillo de Vimianzo, Galicia, España.
Impresionante trabajo artesanal.
Outstanding, beautiful
The agility and math that goes into creating these beautiful lace pieces is awesome.❤
I could sit for hours listening to the chatter and wooden bobbins clacking ❤
This is beyond my comprehension. It looks like random fumbling when really its artful mastery in play. Beautiful!
Even slowed down I cannot keep up or understand how they do this. Magical and tradition needs preserving. Incredible ❤
It's actually pretty easy to learn. There's only two movements (a twist and a cross), and your never working with more than four bobbins at the time. There's some pretty good books that show you the basics and that have some simple patterns so you know where to put your pins. I'm a Flemish lacemaker and create mostly on a round lace pillow. Experienced lacemakers can tell the region of where the lace is made based on background and shapes.
There's a documentary about life in a small UK town before it became industrialized. There were women who knitted while walking and their hands were so fast, the camera couldn't keep up with the movements.
I love the sound! How it echoes in that courtyard!!
This is so mesmerizing to watch. The sounds, the spool action. O distress.
Mind-boggling skill. I can't even imagine being able to do that! I especially love the blue one.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Such talent! I could watch and listen to them all day! ❤
😅me too
It's super easy to learn!
Lace making looks so incredible and I know for a fact I could never do what these amazing people are doing. Makes me appreciate the gorgeousness of lace even more.
I love fiber arts. It makes me sad that so much of it is becoming a lost art, but I think with social media capturing and showing these things there are younger people willing to learn (like Shetland lace knitting). LOVE that! Though I know if I tried this it would end up in massive tangled knots and tears, lol.
I’m hopeful for a resurgence in interest too!
Bobbin lace. Mundillo. My favorite Learned it in my twenties, singing bobbins ❤
WTH! That is amazing and gorgeous!!!
These ladies have magic hands. Magnifition skills and the beautiful music when the bobins dancing by their hands.
Great Ladies and great work😍😍
I'm startled by my own admission that I could watch this for hours.
Isn’t it relaxing? ☺️ I have longer videos on my channel too. 🫶🏻
@@GaliciaBee *gasp!* I'm going there right now. (Jjust as soon as I pour a cup of coffee and put on a Korean sheet mask...😄).
🫶🏻 That sounds like the perfect Saturday!
This is like my 10th time in a row watching it
@@jenniferbueller6761 Hahahaa, I think it would be embarrassing for me to confess to you all the weird videos I've watched ten times in a row. 😆
It looks like they're just throwing things around but that is pure skill skskksk
I totally love to hear these ladies chatting in gallego ❤❤❤
Older than Spanish and Portuguese languages ❤
The craftmanship is beyond amazing❤🎉
This is crazy amazing!!
The clicky-clicky of the spindles is so scrumptious
Absolutely amazing work!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible!!
People who want this type of community and are in the fiber arts hobby/skill/whatever I suggest looking into your local fiber guild. I live in the middle of nowhere and we even have one. It’s a great place for more information or expertise not to mention the community is great if you’re into that!
There is nothing I love more in this world than beautiful, European artistry. Absolutely stunning 🤍
it doesn't have to be european though... great crafts all over the world
@@moonhunter9993 they said "I love" so they have a preference, it's not like they're saying it's better than other types, it's just what they like best.
these laces were first imported from the mena. just fyi
According to Wikipedia this kind of lace is European.
@@Xiroi87 the lace motifs were literally meant to imitate mena and asian fabrics. wikipedia is a start but not the end
Beautifully fascinating🤗😃
They’re showing out at the castle 🏰! Beautiful work ladies!
This craft has always fascinated me!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Love old fashion ancient talent ❤
Amazing, no mind boggling to watch!! So beautiful!!
