This list is for the UK and I haven't found a similar one for US, but as someone who watches a LOT of bobbin lace lives on tiktok I was surprised to see it on this list. "Drawing on the conservation status system used by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust Watchlist, Heritage Crafts uses a system of four categories of risk to assess the viability of heritage crafts. A heritage craft is considered to be viable if there are sufficient craftspeople to transmit the craft skills to the next generation."”
