Mainly Lace was set up in 1990 in response to high demand for bobbin lace making supplies in Essex.  Whilst attending exhibitions and craft fairs, displaying and selling our lace, we were continually asked for lace making supplies.  To start with we had just a few reels of threads and some bobbins to sell and the ladies we were teaching as our first customers.

From our first lace day, where we had just one table, we slowly grew to be one of the largest bobbin lace suppliers in the country.

Now when we attend events we have at least six tables full of supplies ranging from bobbins to books, patterns to pillows and a great supply of thread.
