Torchon Lacemaking by Jan Tregidgo
Subtitled : A Step by Step Guide
I met Jan at The Lace Guild Convention in Exeter where she was running a workshop on her bracelet.
​
I'm going to make a confession here.  I put off buying this book because I was focusing on collecting European books and was arguing with myself as to whether or not I needed another beginner book.  

When I started teaching again, I was being asked by my students was this book or that book any good so I bought a copy to add to my library and was blown away by the amount of step by step photos in the book. 

What works well?

• This book is lusciously illustrated with step by step photos which really enhance this book

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• Jan makes particular mention of using colour as a beginner because it helps follow how the bobbins are moving through the lace.
• This book is currently available from most online books sellers as well as lace suppliers.  It is available as a Kindle book.
