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.
I love doing Armenian lace and I hope you enjoy it too!
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.
@@JoySongDesigns Glad you think so!!
BITTE IN DEUTSCH ICH VERSTEHE KEIN ENGLISCH !!!! DANKE
@wostenhoferanita664 go to the settings at the top of the page and turn on auto-translate to German 😊
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
I lost my croatian grandma a few years ago. She made so beautiful laces. To see now how you explain such awesome handwork is just wonderful! To listen to you sitting in your garden gibes the feeling to learn from my family. Thank you very much for the video! ❤ 😊
My pleasure, I'm so happy you find solace in this work!
My deepest condolences for the loss of your grandmother. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
@@number1angel66 Thank you very much 😊❤️
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 😅
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 😍
Thank you for sharing your skills! I like watching people make things when I am depressed, and you are a true artisan!
You are so kind, thank you. There's so much in this world to be happy about, and art is one of them.
I pray this cheers you up!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so that it doesn’t get forgotten. We need our women to pass down their knowledge to the younger ones!
You are so welcome! Thanks for enjoying my videos, Mallory!
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.
What wonderful feedback, thank you!
RUclips always provides distractions from my work. I have so many tatting, knitting, and macrame WIPs and now I need to learn to do this! To the Craft Store! 🏃
Such a kind thing to hear, thank you!
You are great!
I'm korean and I'm very surprised of your lace making skill. I've never seen that kind of thing before.
Lace is amazing!
Wow, thank you so much. Please enjoy and keep practicing. Please feel free to share the video with your friends. Tons of fun to get together with your loved ones and practice together. Also, I absolutely love kbbq & kimchi :)
I DID IT!! I finally got a whole first round!! It's wobbly looking but I did it!
Way to go Jennifer!!! Yes, our first few runs will always be wobbly, and that's TOTALLY FINE! Keep up the great work, and if you have any photos, please send them over ! 😊
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.
+Lee Peterson That is so kind of you. Enjoy and keep me updated on your work!

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. onnaaddis@gmail.com
keep up the great work, you're great!
This series of videos is really good. You're clear, concise and stay on topic. I was able to follow your instructions in the first and second video pretty well. My loops weren't as even as yours are but I'm getting the hang of this. Thank you for the videos.
+Melissa RMT My pleasure!
Melissa's RMT
This series has been a HUGE HELP to me. Thank you so much!
+Cathy Zemke It's been my pleasure to make. You're welcome!
Just beautiful! A true artisan. I appreciate you sharing. As soon as I get the supplies, I will definitely give it a go. Again Thank you.
Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed it! Please send photos of your work!
Exceptionally clear instructions and thank you for English instruction as well, which is not easy to find. I understood everything perfectly and if anyone needs to watch something slowly, all they need to do is go into their settings on the bottom of the youtube screen of this video and change the speed. I'm currently working my way and am on the second to last video with no problems (other than my stitches here and there are not perfect, which is ok and normal for one beginning anything!). Thank you so very much. Beautiful lace.
Thanks for subscribing, there are more videos I've posted!
This beautiful. Going to give it a try today. Love your instructions. My grandmother and great aunts all made tatted lace, edging and table cloths.
Dixie H That is wonderful, I hope you start making lace!
Looking forward to learning how to do this - Thank you for showing how it is done
My pleasure :)
Vay inchkanem sirum asexnagortutun. Tatiks shater anum. Shat siruna jans. Mercy. ❤ shat lavek basatrum. I love you!
This is absolutely stunning work! Thank you for sharing, and your voice is so soothing. I had a look at bobbin lace making, but i don't think i could quite be bothered with the set up for that, but just a needle, laceweight thread and your hands? I'm excited to give this a go! ☺️
You're so welcome, I'm happy to hear such a sweet comment! It's the easiest art to get started with :)
Just finished watching all the parts ... from the very start I knew I wanted to make one of these, and I've never before wanted to!! Thank you for showing us how wonderfully-easy it is to do!
Joe, Guelph
I'm SO PROUD of you for watching all the parts. Outstanding job 😊 I know this isn't easy for some beginners, but if you were able to sit through all 8 parts, it tells me you're interested in doing this. Many more videos are on my channel and I hope you enjoy them.
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.
+Gemini Dolly That is wonderful. You're welcome!
I tatted the first ring, too!
Esther Ogozal
I’m trying this for the first time today. Thank you for teaching how to do this!
You're very welcome Gabrielle, send me a photo of your progress.
i have been obsessed with lace making and designs, so i cannot thank you enough for this tutorial, its very comlicated and i dont think i wraped my head around many things, but i will try to learn and make itmyself
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for finding my channel and enjoying the lace videos!!
Brilliant work 👏 👍 👌 🙌 applause for your hard work. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!!
Obrigada Ashley por compartilhar o passo a passo dessa arte maravilhosa " renda Armênia "
Aqui no Brasil se fazia esse tipo de renda, a técnica veio com os colonizadores mas acabou se perdendo ao longo do tempo e hoje um número muito pequeno de pessoas tem o conhecimento.
Com certeza vou aprender a fazer esses pontos lindos com você.
Deus te abençoe sempre
Gracias Gracias Obrigada!
OH I'm so excited to have found you. I have been looking for someone who speaks English, that's teaching this craft. I have been watching non English speaking ladies and I couldn't understand what they were doing. yay!!!
Rhonda, there are more videos! Enjoy them!
Thank you so much, lacemaking fascinates me. Its so lovely and so rare.
Thanks Lissy! You're wonderful, I'm glad you think so.
Love this tutorial! Beautiful work. ANOTHER project to add to my mountain of 'must-try' crafts lol!
Thank you so much, I am honored to hear this! I can't wait for you to get into this art. It's a wonderful experience!
Thnx for your reply. You are so blessed with that wonderful gift. Blessings
You are so welcome!!
So happy. I understand all the instruction. Just can’t seem to get the petals the same size. Will work on it. ThankQ for helping me learn. As always sending you blessings to you and your loved ones. 🥰
Thank you, how very sweet.

Thank you!
wish this was just one video instead of in parts 😬
ooooh this is satisfying to watch. I used to make knot bracelets and my mind would think "how can I expect on this idea... here it is and just wow!
This was my first time making a video like this, so I wasn't really sure what to do. Now, I have so many more needle lace videos! ruclips.net/p/PL7CBs6KkliOHYgeuEsNHTQd4FRAyhW1Cu here's the playlist.

Thanks so much, Cheryl! There are a ton more videos that are much easier to follow since I've used a better camera to record them: ruclips.net/p/PL7CBs6KkliOHYgeuEsNHTQd4FRAyhW1Cu
thank you for teaching.
You’re so welcome! Did you try it yet?
Absolutely beautiful. And I love your accent. Thank you for sharing your art. You make it look so easy. I’m tempted to practice with some sock yarn I have. You move so quickly
Thanks so much 😊 If you watch it a few times, it gets slower, trust me. Practice will make you much better; that's the only way with this art. If you loved this, please share it with your friends. Maybe you guys could get together and do a needlelace night!
Delsiy thank you dear madam nails
Really well explained bravo and very nice work

Thank you!!
+BlackSeranna You are very welcome.
Привет! Спасибо за видео :) Очень красиво получается
Пожалуйста!
It looks easy ,I have to try .your work is very beautiful ❤️
I hope you do try! I think you'd love it Guruswami!
Thank you so much. Glad that I found this
My great pleasure! Glad I could help.
Lindíssimo trabalho.👍
Obrigado por assistir!
I wonder if this is like an evolved version of nålbinding, maybe they started out similarly and then made it more complex. Much more intricate but the same looping single needle way of working. amazing!
Who knows! But I'm glad you think so and I hope you've enjoyed it!
Parabéns muito lindo seu trabalho
Obrigado!
Wonderful video thank you
Thank you too!
This is SO difficult to follow. But my boyfriend, roommate, and I are all trying. I think the thread we are using is so small and that is making it more difficult. You are covering up what you are doing with your hand, and it would be easier to follow if you were going slower and maybe inside where the light is consistent. I will keep trying!
Thanks for the honest feedback Jordan! I wish you guys success! I’m going to do a new beginners series with a new camera soon. In the meantime some of my newer videos were filmed more clearly and might help you.
Hi ..i'm from algeria ..it's the first time i see that ... i hope to learn it .. actually i love handmade ..and crafts
Thank you
Hi, thank you so much for coming here to watch this Armenian lace! Algeria is a wonderful country. I'm so grateful to inspire you. Please share this video and the art with your family and friends, I'd love that!
Lindo seu trabalho! Quero aprender!
Estou feliz que você goste dessa arte e estou feliz que você queira aprender! Você veio ao lugar certo Maria!
Absolutely stunning never seen this way before thank you for sharing if it wasn't for u tube we wouldn't b able to learn these crafts Michelle uk ❤️❤️
Michelle Cowell thank you so much!
Lindo demais!!!!
Gracias!
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.
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 answering my questions so quickly.
which size needle you use in the project
My favorite needles: amzn.to/2WcTB9B
asley i am trying to get the first round in this pattern but is there any easy way
The easiest way is to keep practicing Rajul!
I've always wanted to learn this but my medz mama didnt teach me. Now I can learn it!!
Talar you are so sweet. Keep watching the videos! I've posted more.
GREAT WONDERFULL THANKS
Thank you!!!
Amazing WOW
Thanks 🤗 If you love this art, please share it with your friends and family on social media!
hi. Very beautiful work. I would like to try. What size thread should be used for this project?
Thanks! Here's the thread to use: My favorite thread: amzn.to/38MMOWM (Ad)
Hi Ashley I've tried and tried this and still to no avail see the thread do you double it or what
Just lace a needle like regular, no need to double it or do anything fancy.
The first stitch we make to clse d last round, should we count dat S first stitch of next round or is it just a closing stitch
Both ways work, it depends on the style you're going for! Check out the new videos I posted, they will help you out too.
Thanks 💝 beatifull
Thank you so much Iris! Please share this video with your friends who you think would enjoy it and receive value from it :)
Hi Ashley is there other needle work that you can show us an do a tutorial on it please thank you

Hi Ashley, where can I get a book on Armenian lace making. Try to follow your video but I would like to get a book on it. I am from S A and always loved European crafts help please!!
I have no idea. I don't know if a book exists. I learned this art in an orphanage
Maaaraavilhoso Parabéns lindo.
Obrigado Maria!
This needle lace is absolutely beautiful!!! What a fine craft :) You explain & show how to do this so well! Very easy to understand & follow along. Thank you! Liked & subscribed ^_^
So glad you think so!!! Makes me very happy, more to come.
have made two little doilies but I do not know how to join or what step to do next. I want to show you what I have done so far but I do not know how to get the picture to you to see. Also I like your silk flower videos and plan to learn those as well. And it was nice to see someone compost like my grandmother and my mother. I do it also. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Why don't you take the pictures, post them to your Facebook, and then send me the link?
I put my latest one I am working on trying to get the tension down better on my time line. You can see it there. I am proud I got that far after throwing away the last 9 that were very bad. I must say I enjoy your videos very much and you come across like a very nice lady. My link is, sandra.hunt5832@facebook.com Once again I thank you so much for you teaching us this beautiful work, my mother always told me I would never make lace it is a dying art but you are making sure it will live.
Por favor, não deixe de ensinar essa técnica.
Muito obrigado! E é claro que vou!
