Abstract
Abstract A hairpin lace loom for fabricating hairpin lace including a stationary base adapted to be placed on the lap of the user or on a table, a rotatable base mounted on the stationary base, a plurality of elongated yarn-receiving rods extending upwardly from the rotatable base, a number of apertures spaced along a diameter on the rotatable base for receiving the rods in different spaced positions to permit the fabrication of loops of different width, a brace mounted at the top of the rods to rigidize them and hold them parallel, a counter mounted relative to the rotatable base for recording the number of revolutions thereof, thereby to obviate the counting of the loops, said brace being removable so that the hairpin lace can be slipped off the top of the rods, and aligned apertures in the rotatable and stationary bases for receiving a crochet hook which functions as a pin to lock the rotatable base relative to the stationary base when the loom is not being used.
