Publisher ‏ : ‎ Dryad P.; 1st edition (24 Jun. 1987)
ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0852197101
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0852197103
The Dryad Book of Bobbin Lace by Raie Clare
The 1980s saw a slew of books produced on bobbin lace during it's resurgence.

During this period, Dryad created their now 'infamous' bobbin lace kit.  The pillow was, surprisingly, of good quality and the patterns and instructions spurred a number of people to learn.  Whilst the plastic / nylon bobbins may not have been the most glamorous, they helped to make the kit accessible, price wise.

What works well?
  • The book gives simple instructions across a number of lace techniques using clear diagrams.
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • The pattern on the front cover is included at the end of the section on Bucks Point
  • This book is out of print, but readily available on online book sellers, eBay and through lace suppliers

Can you tell me if there is a Buck's Point Bookmark sampler of 5 circles with different grounds in Raie Clare's book, The Dryad Book of Bobbin Lace?
Thanks so much!
Btw, your website is outstanding! Thank you for helping to put lacemaking out into the world!!

    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.
