Honiton point lace collar
Honiton point is a needle lace. It used machine-made tapes that were applied to pre-printed patterns. Decorative stitches were used as a means of joining the tapes together. The first lace ‘kits’ gave society ladies the opportunity to learn point lace. Selling kits provided lace-makers with an alternative way of earning their living.
