The craft of lace-making may have originated as early as the 16th century in Europe. Evidence from books published in the 1500s show pictorials of laces used on costume and other works.
By the end of the 16th century, there was a huge rise in lace-making as an openwork fabric. Lace-making can be created with a needle and a single thread, known as needle lace-making. Likewise, creating lace with a needle and multiple threads is known as bobbin lace-making.
