[lace] threads

[Alex Stillwell]

Hi Arachnids

Another culprit affecting the thickness and strength of threads is the bleach
used to whiten thread. I believe thread is bleached after spinning. When
140/2 linen was available one year (it can only be produced when the crop is
of the highest quality, not every year) I found the white appreciably finer
than the half bleach.

Happy lacemaking
