Chainettes are tape lace worked with
metal threads and plate, usually of gold or
silver. The chainette
technique differs from that usual in bobbin
lacemaking in that it uses single bobbins, not
pairs. Freiburg (D) 2019,

On the right you can see a few examples from the book. More can be found on the page "Chainette jewellery". Chainettes are quick and easy to work with a great variety of materials. They are simply fun!
