And some of them we expanded by a lot! Well, we decided to revisit lace.<\/p>\n<p>A long time ago I went on an extensive exploration, via the internet, of lace and lace companies. I found one company that I thought, and still feel, is possibly the best lace maker there is. The company has been making lace since 1837. They produce two kinds of lace, on looms, some of which, are over 100 years old!<\/p>\n<p>While they have a huge archive of historical patterns, they have also developed patterns with a modern edge.<\/p>\n<p>About a month ago I touched base with them. They kindly sent images of many, many patterns. The majority of people who have been asking us for lace have wanted traditional lace. To that end, we chose a number of patterns. And, as of this morning they are ready for shipment! We expect them in next week!<\/p>\n<p>Nothing says happiness like Lace!<\/p>\n<p>Watch the Fabric Blog for lace updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hanukkah is over, and Christmas is just around the corner!
