Pil′low-lace.

A lace made with bobbins or pirns upon a pillow. Bobbin-lace.

It was originally made of silk or thread woven into a net with hexagonal or octagonal meshes. Afterward, it was ornamented with a thicker thread called gimp, so interwoven with the meshes as to form flowers and curved designs. The pillow is hard stuffed and covered with parchment, on which the design is drawn. To form the meshes, pins are stuck into the cushion and the threads woven or twisted round them. The pattern on the parchment indicates the spots for the insertion of the pins, and also shows the places for the gimp, which is interwoven with the fine threads of the fabric. The work is begun at the upper side of the cushion by tying the threads together in pairs, each pair being attached to a pin. The threads are twisted and crossed and secured by the pins, which determine the meshes.
