The Hair Pin Lace Tool

The most common questions I receive regarding this form of lace making is:

1.  How do I accurately measure my strips of lace?

The best way to measure your hairpin lace strips is by counting the loops on one side of the strip as you push it onto the waste yarn (check your hairpin lace instruction sheet)  holding the strip as you form the loops.

2.  How do I join my strips of hairpin lace?

There are several ways to join your strips and this is what makes the project you are working on simple or very elegant.  My advice is to google “hairpin lace strip joining techniques tutorial”.  There are several very good tutorials that show you different ways to join your strips.
