pic3This is an example of torchin bobbin lace.  In the example to the left bobbins are used in pairs. The pairs on the left side are hung - each on a pin. One set of bobbins are hung on a pin to the left of center. This set of bobbins is woven to the left through the bobbins already hung.  Once the left side is reached a second set of bobbins is added and woven from right to left. This example becomes much more complicated from here.  When one looks to the left one will see a piece of white paper.  This white paper is a pricking. The pricking has holes for where the pins should be placed. There are 7 sets of bobbins hanging in this example. This illustrates the explanation above.
