Chainettes are
worked with metal threads and plate, usually of
gold or silver. The chainette technique differs
from that usual in bobbin lacemaking in that it
uses single bobbins, not pairs. Freiburg (D) 2019,

In this book, details of the techniques used in historical chainettes are followed by 26 patterns for historical and new lace edgings, jewellery (brooches, bracelets and necklaces), flowers, stars and more. On the right you can see a few examples from the book. More can be found on the page "Chainette jewellery". And with tiny chainettes you can make attractive buttons. Chainettes are quick and easy to work with a great variety of materials. They are simply fun!
