The story with the princess who escaped using her long hair was Rapunzel.
I don't remember any version in which she made lace with her hair but
she was said to have braided it. Perhaps in the language of the time it
had the meaning of lace making.
Rumpelstiltskin was the story of the young woman who was to spin gold
from straw, well actually Rumpelstiltskin did the spinning for the
princess.
Both of these stories were made famous by the Grimm Bros, but they were
stories past down from generations. It is interesting to realize how
these stories were originally told with a moral or something to teach
the listener.

Could this be the story by the Grimm Brothers "Rapunzel"?
Or: Rumpelstiltskin? - also by the Grimm brothers.

Hello everyone,
Here school started again today. So my children are away and suddenly the
house seems so much more quiet. :-)
Anyway, I know there is a story about Blonde lace.
A Princess was captured in a castle and made lace from her very long Blonde
hair to escape.
Does anyone has an image, drawing, photo of this story? I have been looking
on the internet. But to no avail. Is someone able to direct me to a
drawing/pic or image?
Thank you beforehand!
