Lace Threads and Accessories for Bobbin Lacemakers

This section brings together a curated selection of lace threads and essential accessories to support your bobbin lace projects. Whether you’re working from one of Louise’s Lou Woo patterns or planning your next lace design, having the right materials makes all the difference.

From smooth cotton to decorative metallics, all threads are chosen for their quality and suitability for traditional lace techniques. You’ll also find a small range of useful tools and accessories to help make your lacemaking experience more enjoyable and organised.

These products are suitable for all levels – from absolute beginners working on a first bookmark, to experienced lacemakers looking for specific thread colours or textures for a more advanced piece.

What You’ll Find in This Section

Here you’ll find a variety of lace-friendly threads and supporting accessories, including:

  • Cotton Threads – strong, smooth and ideal for beginner and decorative patterns
  • Metallic & Sparkle Threads – for adding a shimmer to special designs
  • Metal Rings – used in several Lou Woo patterns to add structure or as a decorative centre

Each product is clearly labelled with weight, length, and suitability so you can confidently choose what you need for your pattern. Where threads are used in a specific Lou Woo design, we’ll note this in the product description for easy matching.

Why Choose Our Threads and Accessories?

Louise selects all lace threads with care, focusing on:

  • Ease of use for bobbin winding
  • Beautiful results across different stitches and grounds
  • Consistent quality for even tension
  • A range of textures and finishes to suit both modern and traditional designs

Our accessories are chosen to be genuinely useful – no gimmicks or clutter, just tools that make life easier at the pillow.
