In this video series, I teach a start-to-finish tutorial for creating Armenian Needlelace, which is the beautiful art of Armenian needlework. This art, also known as point lace, iğne oyası (Igne Oyasi in Turkish), Nazareth Lace, Bebilla, and Knotted Lace, is centuries old. I learned this art growing up in a Lebanon orphanage when I was a little girl. This art is also known as iğne oyası.
I hope to continue sharing this art with you all. Thank you all so much for your support!

I've done crochet and knitting for most of my life, as well as tatting, but I must admit that knotted needlelaces are the pinnacle of lacemaking. The mastery that they require stuns me every time I see it. The fact that they are so hard to pick back, that you must concentrate so hard, that you have to measure most of your loops by eye ... Armenian needlelace is the greatest of all laces.

[@BecomeInspired]

I love doing Armenian lace and I hope you enjoy it too!

[@JoySongDesigns]

J Cortese Yeah me too… I’ve done all kinds of needlework, not tatting though. I’ve always loved lace and I knit and crochet lace, now I’m trying this out... I like it so far.

I never considered how lace was made or even was made. I don't know why this blows my mind! It's not on the same level but I'm getting I to cross stitching and i want to gradually branch out to things like embroidery knitting lacing etc. It's all so amazing. I hope my eyesight lasts though 😅

[@BecomeInspired]

Jane, welcome to my channel! I'm so grateful you've found me and are enjoying this beautiful artwork. Yes, it blows my mind too and I've been obsessed with it since I was a little girl. Keep practicing, and soon you will get on the same level. Send me photos of your progress along the way too 😍

[@lindawright6238]

Absolutely stunning handwork. My mother did needle tatting on handkerchiefs as a child to sell in Grandmother’s “penny store”. I was surrounded as a child with flower gardens, antiques and homemade lace. I have never seen an entire tablecloth tatted this way. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this lost art with so many beginners.

[@BecomeInspired]

What wonderful feedback, thank you!

[@florencemcowen5526]

I love handwork. My grandma and mom were seamstresses. But grandma crocheted. She didn't do Armenian Lace. My mom wanted me to learn, especially since it's part of my heritage. I'm second generation Armenian. My grandparents on both sides came here at the beginning of the genocide. You do make it very easy. My grandma and mom would be proud. Thank you

[@TheCraftingSideOfMeiRu]

Ashley, THANK YOU THANK YOU for your wonderful series of videos and the introduction where you showed the very large artwork. Every piece and every size of the needle art is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Spiritual! I really appreciate your repeating the instructions many times in each segment and doing so many loops faster AND slower. Very helpful. I'm left-handed but have decided to learn with needle in my right hand (I crochet and needle tat right handed already, so shouldn't be too hard...!) I can't wait to begin this weekend. If you ever decide to write a book or put all 8 videos together into one long video, please let us know! I'm first in line to buy one. Fantastic.

Ashley, I have been using your videos to help me create this beautiful pattern of yours. I am curious if you have other patterns? where would I find more patterns? Are there books? or websites? I have searched and all I find is the book on flowers. I made a few and didn't care for them. I love making doilies and small decorative things. any help would be appreciated. So far you are the best teacher of Armenian knotted lace or (needle lace) that I have seen! I'd love to see more coasters and doilies if you made the vidieos. please write back and let me know, or PM me Onna Addis on FB and messenger. [e-mail] keep up the great work, you're great!

Exceptionally clear instructions and thank you for English instruction as well, which is not easy to find.

Ok Ashley, I tried for 2 days to get the first ring done with the 12 loops on it, but I just could not get the hang of it. Then I realized that the ring with the loops looks just like a ring with picots in shuttle tatting, which I do all the time. So I made the first ring with the 12 loops with shuttle tatting, and then continued on with the rest of this with a needle and followed along with you. Thank you so much for teaching me how to do it. I know I will like this more and more as I get better at it.

I love the doily that you made. I want to learn this craft, therefore I will try to follow your wonderful tutorial. You said you used DMC thread, what size thread is it? And what type and size needle did you use. Do you have any suggestions for a beginner like me. I've been crocheting for many years, also do tatting, hopefully knowing those crafts will help me learn needle lace. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@BecomeInspired]

I am glad you're interested in this. Any size thread and any needle the thread fits through will work. If your preference is a thin thread, you can use a thin DMC with a small needle.

thank you for this video. somehow needle laces have come up on my feed though I rarely watch needlework videos - as someone who enjoys knitting and other types of needle-related art (crochet, sewing, a bit of embroidery) this is something quite fascinating to me and I love how you don't need any really special tools - I could do this with the material I already have from my existing hobbies, and I could even use thicker yarn of a similar type (though of course, it would not look as fine or beautiful as the ones with fine crochet thread as you use here)! a question: which of your subsequent videos addresses adding new thread?

Charmaine Eng Hi Char! Every time I run out of thread on any of these videos, I add new thread and show my viewers. I will make a new video of this and detail the exact steps soon as well. I’m glad you love the videos :)

Charmaine Eng If you watch any of my videos for long enough, you’ll get to a point where I run out of string. Let me know if you can’t find one and I’ll get a specific time for you
