*********************************************
Welcome to Lenka's Wire Lace Supplies, a unique shop that caters to the needs of adventurous lacemakers, spirited artists, passionate jewellers and one-of-a-kind fashion designers.
Wire medium used in traditional lacemaking techniques opens unlimited potential for creative expression. If you are inspired to learn making bobbin and needle lace with wire, you need good tools and good materials to make your effort worthwhile. And that is exactly what I strive to provide - specialized lacemaking bobbins and accessories, and high grade wires for lace art, sculpture and jewellery.
I have been making wire lace for 30 years, and teaching it for almost as long, so I thoroughly understand challenges that the medium poses to lacemakers. Therefore, in 2017, I have written a manual "Wire Lacework: Lenka's Introduction to Bobbin Lace in Wire", with an aim to assist lacemakers with a smooth transition from fibre to wire medium. Basic Series of Patterns & Tutorials followed, with each title being dedicated to a particular wire lace technique. The pattern collection keeps growing as time allows.
Detailed description is provided for every item in this shop. If you need additional information, please feel free to ask - I will be happy to help.
Enjoy browsing, shopping... and lacemaking :)

5 out of 5 starsI will have to find a good excuse to work on these before next Christmas - it is still winter after all, and who doesn't like a snowflake?! Richly illustrated, and well explained pattern, though I haven't attempted it yet.

5 out of 5 starsthe bobbins all come with an extra supply of rubber bands, but hey, it is a long way to Europe, so I stocked for some more just in case. They are really high quality, so these will probably outlast me :-D

5 out of 5 starsSimply gorgeous bobbins - these are the 10cm ones, which are handy as gimps, but also as standard bobbins. The smoothest surface ever, they are really a joy to handle. The elastics at the top, the hole at the base of the neck, and Lenka's wonderfully illustrated and clearly explained instruction booklet make it really easy to get started with wire bobbin lace. Super happy with my purchase!

5 out of 5 starsThese are by far the finest, smoothest wood turned lace bobbins I have ever owned! They are just exquisite - just 7.5cm long (a 10.5cm Cantù bobbin is there for comparison), the ingenious rubber band concept makes both releasing and rewinding the bobbins a doddle. Highly recommended - I couldn't buy more as I cleared the stock available, but I will be watching like a hawk for the restock!

5 out of 5 starsThe items were packaged well and are just as described. I'm anxious to start working with the bobbins and wire.

5 out of 5 starsThese butterflies are beyond cute, and while as a newcomer to wire lace I think it will take me a while to be able to attempt this pattern, the were on sale and I could not pass this opportunity! Well explained pattern, full of pictures, as all of Lenka's patterns!
