Bobbin lace-making refers to the production by hand of lace by crossing, twisting and weaving threads fastened to a bobbin. Slovene lace made a name for itself between the two World Wars, in what was then Yugoslavia.

Bobbin lacemaking in Slovenia was on November 29th listed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
