Roseground Roseground Tatting & Lacemaking Supplies Tatting is a form of lacemaking which probably originated, in its present form, in the early 19th century.

Bobbin lacemaking originated in the 16th century in continental Europe and has developed throughout the world, in various forms and in various centres, since then. In England it developed as a cottage industry, again in various distinctive regional forms in several areas, notably the south-east midlands - Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire - and in Devon. This cottage industry had its heyday in the 19th century before being largely overtaken by machine-made lace from the Nottingham area. The 1960s the craft saw a revival in interest in lacemaking among hobby lacemakers which spread throughout the world, The craft continues to flourish today, with 'lace days' and 'lace fairs' held regularly in most parts of the United Kingdom and other places thoughout the world. It is traditionally carried out using a shuttle to form the distinctive forms often seen on doily and handkerchief edgings - but nowadays developed to produce, in addition, far more adventurous and advanced pieces. More recently, needle tatting has developed and remains a popular alternative to the shuttle.

Roseground update:

I'm sure many of you are aware that Roseground has very reluctantly had to cancel several events in the latter part of 2025. This is due to an unexpected, significant medical diagnosis my husband Martin has received, which has and will continue to consume much of our time and energy through this last quarter of 2025.

Whilst we are not attending events during November, online and telephone orders continue and we will endeavour to continue with a prompt service (with perhaps just the occasional delay!). Keeping busy with orders and talking with our customers provides a welcome diversion from medical matters.

It is our hope that Roseground will be at the Christmas Fair at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham on the 6th December. Claire Bonito of Bonitocrafts, who we work so closely with, will most definitely be there on our stand (thank you Claire, we owe you!) and if at the last minute I find I cannot be there, Claire will carry a range of our products alongside her fabulous patterns. Please do drop by and say hello on the day if you are attending. And thank you to everyone who has offered to help on the day – this really is appreciated.

If you are attending Havant Lace Fair and require anything from Roseground, Margaret Wall will bring any pre-orders for me – I will just need to know before close of play on the 12th November. Thank you so much Margaret and David for kindly coming to my rescue for Pudsey and now for Havant! Harlequin and Mainly Lace are attending as general suppliers and they will have a vast array of threads and goodies to share with you.

Roseground would like to thank you all for your continued support and both Martin and myself are planning on seeing you at events again in 2026. Thank you to all suppliers who have been just fabulous with your support too.

Happy lacemaking to you all over the Festive period!

Deliveries to Europe & USA

We are constantly looking for improved ways to service our overseas customers particularly when additional duty is involved.

We are now signed up with the Royal Mail to use the Postal Delivered Duty Paid service for the countries detailed below - this should avoid unexpected admin charges incurred in addition to duty that is paid in the receiving country. A bit of extra work on our part is so worth it for our valued customers.

Roseground is VAT registered so VAT will be deducted from applicable items (not printed items in the UK) on your invoice when processed (not at the time of ordering) and will therefore help to offset any duty charged. Any duty paid will be detailed on your final invoice.

Countries currently allowing the service to be used are:
Austria
Cyprus
France
Germany
Luxembourg (only up to 150 Euros)
Malta
Netherlands
Norway
Switzerland
The Republic of Ireland
United States of America

Coming soon - Sweden

This service is new to us but seems to be working well so far πŸ˜€
