Weldon’s Practical Macramé Lace: First Series eBook

PieceWork is pleased to present this exact reproduction (neither alterations nor corrections were made to the original published in 1886) of Weldon’s Practical Macramé Lace. It is a fitting example of needlework and history, hand in hand.

You’ll find the macramé lace material from the First Series in this eBook. The directions range from simple to ornate and include illustrated instructions for basic knots, fringe, and decorative borders. The patterns are often ingenious, and many of the objects transcend the years since they were devised.
