Kenmare Lace Kit
To give it a try, follow the link and check out our lace making kits in our online shop
To the right is a Kenmare Lace sampler from a Kenmare Lace kit that can be purchased from our online shop. In the pictures you can see how the Lace Kit takes you through all the intricate stages of making a piece of Kenmare Lace from scratch.
The first and most important lesson is to learn the basic Kenmare Lace stitch which is the detached buttonhole stitch.
In our kit there are 9 variations on that stitch which builds up the pattern to make the larger designs you will soon be making.
