This is what it says on the site:
"Prospective contributors are invited to submit brief proposals,
identifying the proposed topic and volume, and may submit proposals for
more than one topic or volume."
It says submissions will be 4K words or less, with drafts coming in from
July 2020 to December
What exactly is the submission process?

That's a great question, Kim, and one that I don't have an exact answer for
yet. If I recall correctly I think they will vary in length from short
entries to longer, in-depth articles. So there would be room for both a
longer, more general entry on the development of bobbin lace, for example,
I agree, Devon, and was looking at where we could fit lace in. I wondered
if embellishment (vol 5) is appropriate for some types of lace. Certainly
lace can stand alone, but is also often used as a trim applique on other
textiles. Would this delve into braids? Knotting?
I am also curious,
Perhaps the problem is in using the phrasing, woven or non-woven. Years ago
when I first encountered this problem, it was suggested in the literature, to
use loom or off loom textiles. This labelling is never going to be
successfully agreed to.
Just my two cents,

I love that idea, Devon. Absolutely, lace should be in every volume. Here's
the complete list of volumes for all that are interested:
1. Raw Materials: natural fibers, synthetic filaments, blending fibers,
spinning and twining threads and yarns
2. Cloth in Cultures â Wovens: woven structures,
Am I misreading the announcement on The Textile Society of America website?
It would seem that the architecture of the Encyclopedia has already been
established and will consist of 10 volumes. Rather than discussing whether
bobbin lace should be added into the already chock full volume about woven
How about Volume 1 and Volume 2?

Bravo! I will look forward to seeing a textile book where lace is more than
just an “also ran.”

There is still a lot of conversation going on with the editors determining
where to put different textiles because they're so hard to categorize. As

That does clarify! Thanks Elena. I think I got muddled between the
historical points and the structural points. I hope I didn't sound grumpy
-- I'm just rather fascinated by the equivalence of the structure and I get
overly enthusiastic... :-)

To clarify, I don't disagree with anyone here but I was attempting to
answer the question of why bobbin lace was included in the Non-Wovens
Volume. Apologies if it came off poorly. There are definitely many textiles
that will be difficult to categorize, and having a in-depth examination of

Thank you Nancy, I think conversations like these are fascinating and one
of the reasons why I enjoy Arachne so much! It's definitely difficult to
draw sharp divisions in a field with so much nuance. Contributions from all
perspectives are welcome and I look forward to reading them!
Best,
Elena
Yes, you are absolutely right, the evidence is good that bobbin lace
developed from braiding -- but braiding is also weaving in which a warp
thread becomes a weft thread at the edge at each pass. See the very first
illustration in the Wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_group.
Oh my, bobbin lace is definitely a woven fabric. The passives are warp, the
weavers/workers are weft :)
Consider BL an off-loom technique.
Braids are woven also.

Hi All,
I think experts in early bobbin lace like Gil Dye can speak to this more
than I can, but evidence points to bobbin lace developing from braiding
techniques, not weaving.
Textile historians generally rely on "The Primary Structures of Fabrics" by
Irene Emery to draw such distinctions,
Good Liz! That bothered me too. Bobbin lace IS weaving in which the warp is
free at one end and threads can change function from warp to weft or
reverse. But it is topologically exactly weaving -- no knots. And even the
most complicated stitches boil down to the over/under relationship of the
