Roseground Roseground Tatting & Lacemaking Supplies Tatting is a form of lacemaking which probably originated, in its present form, in the early 19th century.

Bobbin lacemaking originated in the 16th century in continental Europe and has developed throughout the world, in various forms and in various centres, since then. In England it developed as a cottage industry, again in various distinctive regional forms in several areas, notably the south-east midlands - Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire - and in Devon. This cottage industry had its heyday in the 19th century before being largely overtaken by machine-made lace from the Nottingham area. The 1960s the craft saw a revival in interest in lacemaking among hobby lacemakers which spread throughout the world, The craft continues to flourish today, with 'lace days' and 'lace fairs' held regularly in most parts of the United Kingdom and other places thoughout the world. It is traditionally carried out using a shuttle to form the distinctive forms often seen on doily and handkerchief edgings - but nowadays developed to produce, in addition, far more adventurous and advanced pieces. More recently, needle tatting has developed and remains a popular alternative to the shuttle.

We are ready roll (with time to spare for a change!) at Melton Mowbray Lace Group Lace Day! Just a short journey here today so not quite such an early start.

A short visit for us as we are off to Paris later today to support our son running the Paris Marathon tomorrow, raising much needed funds for Prostate Cancer UK 💙🏃🏼‍♂️.

A closer look at the cover.

I can't stop looking at it. See the previous post for my unpacking of the first advance copy.

Patience is a virtue. We still have a while to wait while stock is shipped to the U.K.

Wow, wow and wow again! The first look at Claire Bonito's soon to be published fabulous first book. As Claire mentions in her video, we are absolutely delighted to confirm that we will be stocking this at Roseground and we already have the thread in stock (forward planning there!) for the designs - all use the lovely Mez Cotton 50 thread.

Huge congratulations Claire - the book looks absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏👏

Watch this space for more information for when orders can be placed - my understanding it may be a couple of months or so before the books arrive from the printers.

The first event for Roseground in 2026 is tomorrow - our annual visit to Chesham Lace Day. Always a favourite and the sun usually shines!

The car will be filled to capacity with as much as we can but we will be limited on some lines especially bigger items and books. If there is anything you are specifically wanting to look at please email me (pam@roseground.com) so I can make sure I find a space. Would hate for anyone to be disappointed that we haven't got that one item top of your list!

Jane - Lacemaker and Alan Lewis will be there with fantastic patterns (I know there is a new one!) and fabulous wood items along with Stuart Johnson who will have an abundance of bobbins to tempt us all!

Look forward to seeing many of our followers there.

Now will there be doughnuts?.............

Good evening 😀

A quick note to advise that we will be closing tomorrow evening (6th February) @ 5.00 pm for an extended break, returning on Tuesday 10th March. After a very challenging and emotional few months, Martin and I were delighted to get the go ahead last week to take this 2 years in the planning holiday - the best opportunity to really recharge our batteries (one proviso - Martin needs to recover from a very bad dose of flu that has hit for the past 10 days🥲)

I will now have a few days to clear up any lose ends - not knowing whether the holiday would happen means my list is rather long. Any orders placed up to 5.00 pm tomorrow will be attended to and if we are unable to process prior to the holiday, we will advise.

Thank you everyone for your continued support, it really is appreciated.
