Loom manipulated lace weaves are perhaps best known in textile terminology as "mock leno weaves" which is a catch-all phrase to describe a fabric in which floats have been arranged to create some semblance of openings as the threads (warp and weft) slide together to form openings.
The document was created as a compilation of notes, illustrations and drafts that form the handouts for the author's workshop on Lace Weaves where she organizes the weaves into 6 categories: Canvas Weave, Huck Lace, Spot Bronson, Lace Bronson, Swedish lace and Offset Huck and then compares and discusses their construction. Crisp diagrams coupled with explanatory text help the reader understand these and the 31 clearly explained projects the author has put together allow them to experience it for themselves.
