The flower-shaped structure of lace was not obtained by knitting or weaving before, but by twisting. In Europe in the 16 and 17 centuries, weaving lace with thread cores became the source of income for individual craftsmen and a means for aristocratic women to kill time. At that time, there was a great demand for lace, and lace workers were very tired. They often work in the moldy basement, and the light is very weak, and only the rotating wheels can be seen.
Since John Heathcoat invented the lace loom (patent 1809), British lace manufacturing has entered the industrial era, and it can produce very fine and regular hexagonal lace soles. Craftsmen only need to weave patterns on the net, which is usually made of silk.
A few years later, John Leavers invented a machine to produce lace patterns and lace nets by using the principle of French jacquard loom, which also laid the lace tradition in Nottingham, England. Leavers's machine is very complicated, consisting of 40,000 parts and 50,000 kinds of wires, which need to work from different angles.
