Lacemakers in blackwork and cross stitch

The Blackwork Lacemaker was one of X-Calibre’s first designs and still holds a special place in our hearts. More designs on this theme can be found in the Special Occasions section and on the Starter Kit page.

If you are ordering any of our cross stitch or blackwork kits please note that the chart is included. Only order the chart if you already have the materials to complete the design.

Please bear with us while we change over the payment system for ordering the kits and charts.

Blackwork Stitcher

Not strictly belonging in this section as she is stitching rather than making lace, but this companion design is often stitched to pair the Blackwork Lacemaker.

Cross Stitch Lacemaker

I know this is the blackwork section of the site, but it seemed the most sensible place to put the cross stitched version of the Lacemaker. One of our earliest designs, but still as popular around the world.

Watch out for a cross stitch version of the Stitcher in the New Year.
