Chambers 1908 definition[edit]

A bit more detailed: "lace, an ornamental fabric of linen, cotton, silk, or gold and silver threads, made by looping, knotting, plaiting, or twisting the thread into definite patterns, of contrasted open and close structure; three distinct varieties are made, two by handiwork, known respectively as needle or point lace and pillow or bobbin lace, and one by machinery".
