The Last Lace Maker Who Weaves With 68 Bobbins (Patterns Only In Memory) | Honiton Lace of Devon
The Last Lace Maker Who Weaves With 68 Bobbins (Patterns Only In Memory) | Honiton Lace of Devon Before machines, all lace was made by hand with wooden bobbins, pins, and thread so fine you could barely see it. This is the story of Patricia Ashford — a Honiton lace maker who weaves linen with 68 weighted bobbins, creating patterns that exist only in her memory. No written instructions. Just patterns passed from grandmother to granddaughter for three centuries. A single collar takes three months. When she dies, Devonshire Rose pattern dies with her. ⏰ CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction 1:40 - The 68 Bobbins 3:20 - Patterns From Memory 5:30 - Three Months For One Collar 7:15 - How Machines Killed Cottage Lace 9:00 - The Last Who Knows --- 🔨 Featured Craft: Traditional Honiton Bone Lace 📍 Location: Dartmoor, Devon ⏳ Era: 1500s–1920s peak 👤 Craftswoman: Patricia Ashford, age 73, 66 years making lace 🎥 Part of: The Last Who Knew UK series --- 📌 SUBSCRIBE to preserve disappearing crafts before they're gone. 💬 COMMENT: Have you seen handmade lace? 🔔 TURN ON notifications for weekly heritage stories. #BritishHeritage #TraditionalCrafts #HonitonLace #LostSkills #TheLastWhoKnewUK #Craftsmanship #BoneLace #ForgottenTrades #Documentary #DevonHeritage 🎬 More disappearing trades: / @thelastwhoknewuk
