Technically, lace is a "textile." Some laces are "fabric" in the sense that they are firmly woven in widths and lengths that can be used as table mats, tableclothes or fashioned into garments. Narrow laces would more properly be called "trims," because they need to be attached to some other sort of fabric in order to be used.
