Russian lace is a
bobbin tape lace. The tape is made with bobbins at the same time as the rest of the lace, curving back on itself, and joined using a
crochet hook. It was made in Russia, but similar laces made elsewhere are also called Russian lace.[1]
The designs of Russian lace are of abstract form. The narrow tapes or trails follow a maze-like path through deep scallops to merge again and wander into the next.[2]
