In the attic, high above our vintage lace looms, lace pattern punch cards in action. They pull the jacquard pattern ties attached to the loom as they rotate creating our intricate lace designs – a very early version of a computer! The rhythmic sound is loud and somewhat therapeutic and the platforms the weavers climb to reach this space vibrate underfoot. #vintageloom #binarycode #patterncards #weaving #lace #victorianengineering #sensoryoverload #heritgemill #heavymachinery #lacemaking #scottishextiles #britishmanufacturer (at Newmilns, East Ayrshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnlZADEFz9D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j3z9h4e4jkia
