A short 1938 article by Helen Louise Allen on "woven lace," a loom-woven imitation of bobbin lace reportedly made in colonial America. She cites a Metropolitan Museum piece and descriptions by Francis Morris and Marie Schuette, then explains how she reproduced it: gauze-weave areas picked up on a flat stick, separated by three rows of plain weave. She gives advice on yarns, sett, design and outlining with running stitch, with illustrations of old and modern designs and the technique.
