As two forms of hand-knitted woollen lace fabrics which share various similar characteristics, Shetland lace and Haapsalu lace both hold importance in their local economies from their heyday back in the 19th century to our time. The invention of these two forms of lace has made a contribution to part of local people’s income for almost two hundred years. Although Shetland (Scotland) and Haapsalu (Estonia) may sound less relatable due to their geographical distance, the similarities in Shetland lace and Haapsalu lace are much more than random coincidences. Through this comparative case study, Sophie Q. Peng aims to explore the relations between lace and place, and how lace has developed from being a crucial part of making additional income to a crucial part of leisure and local branding. By comparing the cultures of lace-knitting businesses from family level to union or organisational level in Shetland and Haapsalu, Peng proposes a pattern of evolution of heritage handicrafts, and looks further on potential benefits that heritage handicrafts can make in a contemporary context.
