In other words, there are different kinds of laces. Each type has a particular characteristic, texture and quality that make them ideal for different purposes.

Linen lace, also known as satin or silk satin, is the most popular variety of lace and has been used widely for hundreds of years.lace bralette suppliers lace bralette suppliers The fabric is made from natural fibers obtained from the plants around the globe.lace bralette suppliers The term 'linen' refers to the fibrous material obtained from the plants, and 'satin' refers to the fine finishing on the fabric. Satin can be a soft, silky smooth material or it can have a rough, coarse finish depending upon the grade of the fibers obtained from the plant.

Knitted lace includes several varieties such as berber lace, which is made by interweaving tightly woven threads of silk, cotton or wool; lace knitting or lace cardigan, knitted lace that is made by interweaving a series of narrow threads of varying thickness around a light yarn; and crochet or needlepoint.lace bralette suppliers lace bralette suppliers Most often, this type of lace is made using a single-sided stitching, called run stitches, or a double-sided stitching called a graft, or even a combination of both run stitches and grafts.lace bralette suppliers There are some designs in crochet where the stitches look more like rattle hooks, called hook lace or hank lace. Some of these hooks may be machine created, while others are hand crafted.

The open holes give the appearance of small loops, or cowlings, where lace can be knotted or wrapped.

In the early part of the 17th century, the term 'bobbins' was used to describe any piece of lace that was used to create window treatments or window curtains.lace bralette suppliers lace bralette suppliers Some people also referred to this type of lace as bobbin lace and chiffon lace.lace bralette suppliers This terminology now refers only to the wefts of the items. The term 'kerchiefs' comes from the wefting of the cloth, and is generally used today to describe items of sheer lace that drape over headboards, mantles, and other furniture. Another use of the word kerchief is to describe any decorative item that is worn over a dress, or other article of clothing, in the name of concealing or beautifying the article.

Opinions about the origin of the word differ.lace bralette suppliers lace bralette suppliers Traditionally, the word kerchief comes from the French word kerosene, which means a lined or heated garment. Because bobbin lace and other types of textile fabrics have no edges or barbs, it was often called "kerb" lace. However, many historians argue that the term was actually derived from the Italian word lean, meaning thread, and the word pulo which was related to needle lace. If you were to look back on early textiles, you might see examples of both kinds of textiles. However, the majority of early textiles used either one or the other, but rarely both.
