An Introduction to Honiton Lace -  Suzanne Thompson

Publisher : Batsford Ltd; New edition (1 May 2002)
ISBN-10 : 0713407360
ISBN-13 : 978-0713407365
An Introduction to Honiton Lace by Suzanne Thompson
​A simple Honiton flower, from the first project is used to illustrate the cover by showing a repeat of 6 flowers, summing up the beauty of Honiton lace.

Although a 'from scratch book' in itself, this also makes a great follow on book after the Lace Guild's An Honiton: Basic Technical Instruction Book

Suzanne Thompson also wrote a follow up to this book; Further Steps in Honiton Lace
What works well?
  • Although this book only contains 4 projects, it covers all of the basics of Honiton across those projects 
  • The clear line drawings really enhance the instructions and techniques in this book
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • This book is currently out of print, it is occasionally available on eBay and is worth buying when you see it.

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 400 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library.  So here are some of my books.

    ​You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types.  Want to find a particular book?  Scroll to the top of the page, click on the magnifier glass and type in a title or author.

    I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
