Formidable! An intellectual scramble of knots and braids challenging the casual viewer to keep any track of what's going on. Like learning to play the piano... 32 pairs of bobbins? This is a WOW!💐
You have learned so much in a short time and are doing a great job! I am a Norwegian American who has danced Nordic folk dances and taught for years. I have made bobbinlace for my ‘bunad’ (traditional Norwegian dress), and for others’ as well. I have also embroidered and sewn several bunader. It is so much fun to put the bunad on and dance for an audience!
This video was an absolute pleasure to watch and the best overview of bobbin lace that I have seen so far. Thank you for sharing. Your work is stunning!
This is so beautiful. What a treasure. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. May family has been in the US for at least 200 years, so I don’t know what our traditional clothes were from where we emigrated. However, Ive been wanting to learn lace making for decades because my great grandmother made lace and I want our family to hold onto these unique and beautiful skills.
"Not as delicate" she says! That is some of the finest, most delicate lace I've ever seen! It came out so beautiful!
Wow! It looks amazing. I’ve been doing crochet lace after failing at bobbin lace many years ago. I keep telling myself that crochet lace is perfectly good but you’re making me doubt that! ❤
How absolute enchanting.
Your work is absolutely beautiful. My sister made beautiful bobbin lace, and asked if I would like her pillow and bobbins when she needed to ‘downsize’. Knowing that I already have too many craft hobbies, I suggested that she find another more deserving recipient. I do have many beautifully decorative bobbins, which were gifted to me to celebrate birthdays and Christmases. Thank you for sharing your love work.
I love the pic in which the little girl is taught by her granny to make a simple twist with the bobbins .❤❤❤❤
The lace cap is just beautiful. I'm amazed at your dedication to learning all these new skills to make your national costume. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Thank you! I think a big part of why the national costumes are so important is that making them keeps these old crafts alive.
Wow, I am absolutely in awe!!!! Your work is so beautiful!!!! I have started to learn bobbin lace but also, I have four cats and a dog, so, making sure that I keep it well away from them!!!!
I love the sound of bobbins working. Fabulous video.
I love how it turned out.
It is beautiful work!
I am lacemaker too and I passed my knowledge to my youngest daughter. I love making lace.
Where I can find the pattern? I went to the website but I couldn't find it. I guess the difficulty is the language.
I love knitting lace but watching you work with bobbins is mesmerizing. I honestly don’t think I could do it as focusing is a bit of a challenge for me 🥴. Your work is so beautiful and I love the idea of keeping old traditions going as they form part of our identity.
Amazing job! Thank you for showing us how the bobbin lace cap was made. Absolutely stunning!!🤩🤩
Oh my! What a beautiful piece of work! Thank you for sharing this with us.
AMAZING, wish I would have learned how to weave the lace when I was very young, might be easier than now that I am old, beautiful talent, such art.
Real treat to see your cap finished...
The lace is stunning! A true work of art!
*I've just found your video and it was mesmerizing.* *Gorgeous work.*
*My family is from the Netherlands and they wore the Old World Dutch kap, white linen and lace with the triangle sides for Tulip Fest in Holland Michigan.*
I admire your determination to keep these old skills alive. You do beautiful work. Enjoy watching you.
Thank you! I have now taught this skill forward to my daughter as well, so the tradition continues!
Omg that's nuts how much work that is amazing
Wow, that’s absolutely stunning! I had some lace making lessons many years ago but with two young kids there just wasn’t time for new hobbies but seeing your video has lit a fire in me. I am so thankful I kept my pillow and bobbins and now I will contact our local lace guild and see if someone teaches bobbin lace. I am living in a large city in South Australia so there should be someone ☺️ so thank you for showing us your beautiful work ❤
Hello, S here again. The surname of my Finnish lace contact inTuusala is KOSONEN.
I am enjoying all of your videos so much. They include everything I like and treasure.
Hi! You can send more details to my email: contactme@withmyhandsdream.com!
Thank you for this video! I've long wondered how bobbin lace was done and have watched tons of YT shorts of lace makers moving dozens of bobbins around the pillow. This was a very informative overview. I'm quite impressed with the quality of your beautiful lace given that you are a relative beginner. The lace is stunning, and a delicate accent to the bright, embroidered cap.
I am very impressed you are learning a lost art and keeping it alive
Absolutely beautiful lace!I can’t wait to see more of what you do.💖
Scot Joplin...excellent for dancing bobbins.
Thank you. I love bobbin lace. I'm 70 and have been toying with bobbin lace since I was 13. Thank you for your presentation. All of my projects are in storage gathering dust, unfortunately.
Absolutely charming 🤗
Much respect 😊
I've found that linen thread is easier to get a neat result from than cotton thread as it seems to stay where it is put better than cotton. Yes, it is more expensive but you use so little in a year that lacemaking is quite a cheap craft after the initial outlay for a pillow and bobbins. I have a few pillows I've made from polyethylene foam packing, and even a swimming kick board, which cost virtually nothing, and bobbins made from thick bamboo skewers with pony beads glued on as handles, with one bead at the other end to prevent the thread from falling off. These are all you need to start and can be replaced gradually, if and when you decide you like the craft and can afford nicer equipment.
That is so much to keep track of- that is beautiful-
When I was a little girl my grandma's friend tried to teach my this. It's the only time I ever saw it. After 1afternoon I was not asked back but I do remember alot of chuckling from those 2 old birds B4 I left. I wish now that I'm the old bird (I'm probably older than they were then) I wish I could have understood it
Thank you so much for sharing this. Your cap is so beautiful! 😍 I have been fascinated with lacemaking for quite some time. I’m a ceramic artist but am always adding to my skills, I learned weaving last year and took art classes to learn how to paint, but lacemaking is definitely on my learning list!
Just beautiful!
I shall be looking through the laces made by my great aunt with greater apreciation of her work. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for using different colored threads to show the stitches. It makes it easier to see how they came together
Thank you so much for this video!! I've seen shorts of bobbin lacemaking and wanted to know more. I'd love to learn myself at some point! I just can't help my desire to make my own nice details for my home and clothing.
Incredible work! The lace is gorgeous, and the embroidery on the cap is as well.
Wow! Beautiful!
Ooooooh 30 pairs sounds like a right pain, but the result is SO good, I'm amazed you got there in just a few months.
Congrats on the skills and on the cap! Also your lace pillow is so nice and wide, what a great find.
Thank you! I live in a great place with several of those fleamarkets (called Recycling centers) that usually sell every crafting tool imaginable!
30 is quite manageable. 60 pairs becomes more of a nightmare, especially if you accidentally drop the pillow and they all get tangled. Using coloured card for the pricking helps. Trying to untangle white thread on a white background is not fun! Like knitting, once you understand how the patterns and stitches work, you can spot mistakes in time to undo them.
Very informative video. Thank you.
Very elegant work very Weldon
Amazing! Thanks.
A work of art ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
You do lovely work!
i've been wanting to learn more about bobbin lace simply out of curiosity, but to find out you've only been practicing this for a few months and made such beautiful, intricate work is just astounding, i almost couldn't believe it!! thank you for the video, AMAZING work!!!
I love how it turned out.
It is beautiful work!
I am lacemaker too.
I’m Canadian, and my parents are British/English, and German (what would formerly have been East Prussia). I grew up surrounded by the descendants of Ukrainians and Mennonites. I live on Treaty 1 lands, the traditional home of the Anishinaabe and Métis people. I’d love to make a garment one day that is a sort of personal reflection of all these influences in and around me. It’s a dream though, at least for now, since I’d have to do a lot of consulting before embarking on such a project!
Oh, that cocktai of cultures would make a gorgeous dress!
I recently watched a YT on knitting in Finland and it was fascinating.
Katja, thank you, so much for refreshing TH-cam, and the net. I don't see much from Finland, at all and I promise I will watch your presentation for as long as you have it thank you.
Amazingly beautiful ❤
Oh my this is fantastic. Amazing
Thank you!
As usual, your work is perfect and I am another who admires your dedication. Many years ago I had to make a piece of bobbin lace as part of the textile course I was doing at the time, so I know what's involved. Of course, my piece was much smaller than your beautiful cap and not as many bobbins either, but watching you brings back a lot of memories. Love watching you work, thanks again.
Thank you!
I live in the Netherlands. There is a lot of bobbin lace headpieces. I like them a lot.
Finns used to buy lots of lace for their caps from Netherlands. Women also copied Dutch patterns a lot.
@@withmyhandsdream wow!
I love your work!!!!! Ypu are very talented.
That is amazing
So cool!
You are doing such a great job! Teach us in a slower video!
Thank you for sharing this craft with us. I enjoyed the "history lesson" on lace making and being introduced to Askola folk costuming as much as the lace making tutorial (which is really what I came here for). So.... Thank you, again.
Your bobbin lace were so beautiful ! Please let us know the finishing times of them and how you joined the new thread with the finishing old threads technique. Thank you for your sharing with your exquisite and beautiful handcrafted lace!❤❤❤
amazing job!
Beautiful
It is beautiful! Here in Fryslân we have costumes from the 1800-1900 with golden caps and lace. I own one from 1860 with a matching dress. I am going to learn bobbinlace to make myself a new cap.
Oh, I had to google them. Those caps have some similarities with our caps but instead of being silk they are metal! I could easily see how this French hood has been interpreted differently around Northern Europe where ot has got so many regional styles! Many of the pattern lacemakers used here came from Netherlands and now that I’ve seen your caps I understand why!
The finished piece was just lovely. Such a wonderful video. I learned so much.
Beautiful work!
So very lovely!
Astonishing work!!!
Moc krásné video. Nikdy jsem neviděla jak se sešívá a tuží krajka ke kroji. Určitě si to vyzkouším.
Very impressive and beautiful work.
Thank you!
It has been a treasure watching the progress of costume. Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you and you’re welcome!
I have wanted to learn this craft but have no idea what I need or start with. I pray to learn it in time to come.
Oh my God! Is there something you cannot do? You are simply amazing! Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us your beautiful work! ♥♥♥
Thank you! There arr so many skills I’d like to learn but only can take up one at a time!
Absolutely beautiful!
Wow!!! Is amazing
Thank you!
I cant believe I never even heard of this technique. It is amazing.
Thank you! It’s always fun to learn something new, isn’t it!
This is beautiful and wanted please continue to teach this beautiful art❤
Wow! Your determination and skills are so impressive. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Grazie mille del video❤, avete fatto un lavoro eccezionale!😍😍😍 Inparare il tombolo è il mio prossimo obbiettivo 💪
Your crinoline is so lovely...thank you for the video!
Hi Katja, thank you for sharing your project which turned out amazingly beautiful. Thank you for keeping the old crafts alive, and should be so proud of how the lace turned out, a great behind the scene story.
Good luck with the tunic, you’ll produce something to elegant I’m sure, and look forward to seeing how this comes together.
I am using torchon lace, I know weird for a guy to be into such a female dominated craft,
Thanks! You are not the only guy making lace. I myself know a very skilled bobbin lace maker who is a man and teaches the craft as well.
Wow this is just amazing. You are very skilled.
Thanks!
My ancestry is from Norway and I have a festival costume kit (a bunad) that I purchased from Norway from the Ringerike region. I have embroidered most of the pieces but have half of the skirt left to do. I too love to learn the skills necessary to make it authentic. The cap for my costume is a simple wool bonnet with embridery. Thank you for all the details you shared. Your silk cap and bobbin lace are so beautiful!
Oh, the Norwegian folk dresses are gorgeous! I love the embroidery in them and the silver jewellery!
Hi, You have made a very interesting video, I enjoyed watching it. I live in Hungary, here are “kalocsai hímzés” and “halasi csipke” famous. I make bobbin lace too, my favourite is Punto Venezia (Cantù Classic). Have a good day!
Wow, you have done so much with how short a time you have been learning bobbin lace! I love that you are using traditional skills to make traditional items!! I am in England and I’ve been doing lace on and off for years but have never done anything that big (I’ve mostly only made bookmarks or small practice pieces). I taught myself from books and TH-cam. Only in the last month I have been going to a few lessons so hopefully my skills will improve now that I have a teacher who I can ask questions when I get stuck.
I learned from books too, before the advent of internet. I started with a book on Bucks Point lace, not knowing that this was one of the most difficult types of lace to work, let alone learn on. But, I struggled through, and it is now one of my favourite laces to make. It can be done, you just have to have an enormous amount of patience.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 gracias, por este maravilloso e instructivo vídeo, yo hago bolillos también, y ha sido un verdadero placer, saber de su historia y métodos que no conocía sobre ese estupendo mundillo, gracias otra ve de corazón, eres maravillosa, besitos desde España
I found your video very interesting but where I live, I would have NO idea where to even begin looking for a spinning wheel or the bobbins one needs. Cotton or linen thread is easy enough to find. The pillow you stated was easy and you found it at a flea market but I have never sen anything like it at any flee market. I wanted so much to experiement with this but it would seem the items needed, here in Italy where Iive, would be unobtainable. Your enthusiasm is admirable.
Try to look for specialist shops online. It might also help to ask any craft stores in your area if they know a place from where to get the supplies. And you can easily fill the bobbins by hand or well… what I did with most of my bobbins was that I built a bobbin winder from my son’s Technic Legos! And if you just want to try out some basic stitches, you can just use a piece of cell foam as a base and then wrap the thread around clothespins.
@@withmyhandsdream I thank you but as an American living in the mountains of Italy....it would be easier to find ancient ruins under my rose bushes than it would be to find or make the objects needed without a whole lot of money. I know I could get them from Germany or Finland or the UK but the customs fees would be double the initial cost...so hundreds to start. Maybe I will try recreating some tapestry??? Something that, in Italy, is much easier even if it interests me less. I was so curious to find out what Bobbin Lace was ever since I saw a British show called "From Lark Rise to Candleford" and one of the elderly characters, Queenie was doing something that fascinated me, and many others and I say that because I found out what it was by asking, online, "what lace was Queenie making in From Lark Rise...." and many comments popped up! The show is 13 years old but the interest remains. Thank you for your advice and I wish you a good day!
Rubbish. You can make bobbins from clothes pegs or pencils or skewers….in fact ANYthing that you can wind thread onto, and work your lace on a piece of styrofoam covered with a piece of cloth, or some layered cardboard. You can wind bobbins by hand, you dont NEED a spinning wheel. You can use crochet cottons to work with…..they’re available in Italy or use the threads sold for tatting. If you REALLY want to do it there are ways.
You don't need a spinning wheel. You can work circular or square pieces on a large bit of scrap polyethylene covered with a dark cloth, or a kick board used for teaching swimming. If you want the cylinder too, a pool noodle does the trick. Wrap it around tightly with some felt or old blanketing and a scrap of dark fabric and attach it to a board with some elastic pinned to the board. Bobbins can be made from fat wooden skewers cut in half or thirds. Glue 5 or 6 pony beads to one end for handles and one on other end to stop the thread from slipping off. Use dress making pins if you can't get thin ones, as you are not using a superfine thread and pattern. I wind my bobbins by hand. Print your pattern onto cardboard and cover with clear packing tape to prevent the holes from enlarging.
@@ferrierepc You should be able to buy the supplies in Italy. There is a particular type of bobbin lace made in Italy. It's not quite the same as the tonder style lace, but uses the same materials. My mother in law's mother apparently used to make lace. They were from central Italy.
Jos tekisin, tekisin Lammin naisten puvun, ja ottaisin suurimman osan keltaisesta ja punaisesta pois hamekankaasta. Myös olisin niin anarkisti, että vaihtaisin vaaleanvihreän tykkimyssyn silkin metsänvihreään. Myös kiinnostaa musta tykkimyssy tai sen kaltainen, jollainen Minna Canthilla on yhdessä tunnetuimmista muotokuvistaan (oletan, että se on musta) kun se on niin sairaan cool.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️! Are you using the finest thread nr. 100 (DMC)?
Thanks! I’m using Bockens 90/2 linen thread. It is the finest available nowadays. Thinner one is bit available anymore, unfortunately.
How did you acquire this knowledge? Was it mostly trial and error? Are there courses available? Thanks for sharing…I love living vicariously through skilled needle/thread-wielders.
I enrolled on a course. There are plenty available but they are surprisingly popular. I finally ended up taking a Swedish language course as all the Finnish ones were full. Luckily the teacher spoke Finnish and so did everyone else. And nobody minded me being there as a Finnish speaker. I at least got to refresh my Swedish understanding skills!
Absolutely wonderful, you make it look so easy, how did you fathom out the pattern ? and when to put exrta twists to fill gaps? let me into your secret,.....lol I struggle with these patterns x
The extra twists were included in the technical drawing that came with the instructions I bought. You’ll always need both the pattern that goes underneath your work and a technical drawing that explains what stitches to use.
@@withmyhandsdream Thank you so much
can you explain how you used the spinning wheel to fill the bobbin please???
I just stuck the end of the bobbin to the turning spinning wheel orifice to get it turning against my hand. I held the thread spool on my lap.
Hayır li geceler kolay gelsin canım
Very nice video and content. Thanks a lot. Would you be so kind and let me know where you purchased your bobbins. Thanks in advance. Hugs from Provence, Adrien
Thanks! Unfortunately I can’t help you much with bobbins as all my bobbins are purchased second hand. They are frequently available at my local second-hand shops and are very cheap. However, if you are interested in similar bobbins, this Finnish shop sells a variety of them here: jatanaitta.fi/c10333/nypylät
@@withmyhandsdream how sweet of you! Thank you so so much. Have a lovely weekend and I hope to see your woolen jacket when it’s done!
Ihana video :) Mistä ostit tuon tykkimyssyn rusettinauhan?
Mä ostin sen Marja Pihkalalta Nice Factoryltä.
I wish I had a national costume. Unfortunately the US doesn't really have one since ours is a country made up of immigrants from all nations. And I wouldn't be right for me to emulate the clothing of our indigenous people since I'm not any part Native American. According to my DNA my people come mostly from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, and Germany, maybe some Belgium and Dutch thrown in for good measure. There's also a good bit of Scandinavian DNA because of where my ancestors in Ireland came from. They were from Northern Ireland and a huge portion of the population has Danish heritage from ancient Vikings, either because of invasions or colorization. It's where the ginger hair comes from because the original Irish were Picts who were more swarthy and had dark brown or black hair. If you've ever hear the term "Black Irish," they are/were Irish with mostly Pictish ancestry. Anyway, I guess I could pick one as an homage to my ancestors now that you've gotten me thinking. I may just have to research the national dress of all these areas and decide which one "speaks to me." Or I could just make one of each nationality (oy, that will be a long project) and wear a different one each day.
There is such a variety of cultures there for you to study! Thinking about Scottish and Irish weaving and French laces and the patterns of Tudor embroidery and much more!
@@withmyhandsdream Very true. I'm about to go down a rabbit hole of research. Here's hoping I'll find something really fun.
I know a lace collector in Helsinki. I think she has a museum. Would you like to contact her?
Interesting. The only lace museum I’ve heard from is in Rauma.
The lady I know is in Tuusula.
Her first name is Ritva. She is very knowledgeable.
Very nice 💐
I want study bobin lace course
Please help me mam.....🤗
Thank you very much !
Hello again. Have come to a dead end with my Finnish lace contact, so have no more details to tell you. Her phone number has changed. Maybe she will watch TH-cam and contact you.
Who was here because of daily dose of internet
Mathematical mind.
True. Lacemaking is purely logical.
