Welcome to Biggins Lace
Free Post
Most of our Lace Kits, Patterns and Threads are now free post. This does NOT apply to any of our other items. This is for Britain only.

We now accept bank transfer. Place your order then tick pay by phone. Then call us to complete the transaction.
If you do not have a PayPal account you can still shop with us.
Laminated Patterns
Do I need to stick my pattern onto card, cover it with matt film, and prick it?
No! You can order your pattern already matt laminated and ready to prick.
Many experienced lacemakers don’t bother pricking at all. If your laminate has multiple designs (e.g., three bookmarks), just cut them apart with a small border exactly as you would with pricking card. You can reuse the pricking, too.
Adding laminate to a kit costs £2 - £2.50.
If you want only the pattern plus a laminated version, it’s £9, and you still receive the full paper pattern.
It has genuinely transformed my lace making! You may have blue or yellow
From a happy customer:
“I laminated the free pattern and it was an eye-opener so much easier than pricking card. Thank you!” - Tracy Sharples
Starter kits to send abroad
We now offer a starter kit that can be sent abroad without a pillow. This saves you a large amount on postage while still giving you the benefits of our kit. In most countries you can buy a pillow locally, or a friend or family member may have a spare. When you order, we’ll send an invoice with the postage cost for your country.
Tel: 01634 221710 (10am–6pm). If I’m available, I’ll be happy to help. If you reach the answering machine, please leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
We have a minimum order of £7.00 and a minimum postage charge of £4. Our site uses secure payments.

How difficult is this pattern?
We now have an image that shows the degree of difficulty for each pattern so you can make your pattern choices with confidence.
In the details for each pattern you will see one of these choices.
The more bobbins that are ticked, the more complex the pattern. But remember, most of you have more knowledge than you think.
