Lace weight is the finest yarn, spun thin for delicate, airy fabric. It is the choice for heirloom shawls and lacework where drape and detail matter.

Use lifelines. Lace knits slowly and is hard to unravel cleanly. Run a lifeline through a row every so often so a mistake does not cost the whole piece.
