Hi all
Interesting one this, a couple of years ago I was given a collection of old
bobbins, I know a fair bit about their provenance. As I gradually began to
unwrap all the different cover cloths (stashed in very old biscuit and sweet
tins) and discover their contents, a couple of hundred wood
Ouch - the bidder could have made some holidays in Romania for that
money and buy it directly there for a few Euros.
The description talks of crochet - but it's the typical romanian
kind of needle lace, quite coarse but beautiful none the less.
Best, Achim.

thank you for you very interesting view point on this. I have had a go, put

years and obviously have an interest, I would like to learn to do it. I

Thank you Robin for your words of advice, they are much appreciated.
Yes half stitch can be tricky, I will try to follow your tips and keep my
concentration fixed on that weaver thread.
I had some hiccups starting off the Amanda hanky but it seems to be ok
now. Just have to watch out for the
Hello Angela
Yes you do put an extra twist at the end of a row of half stitch; that
makes the same worker thread go back across the half stitch whilst its
partner will go off wherever.

Now the question. Do you put an extra twist on the end of the row in
half
stitch? If so why?
The extra twist enhances the edge, too.
For the firmest edge, although a bit bulky, work CTCT, pin, CTCTT (the extra

Where you want to vary the weaver bobbin, e.g. if thread is running out,
omit the extra T.

Nicky,
How fortunate you are!!
Last year I was able to purchase a Swedish pillow and 200+ bobbins, about 10
spools of Linen thread from a 90+ Swedish woman in our area. In addition she
included the 20+ sample boards she had used in her classes and most of the
patterns for them. I too feel
Good afternoon, lacemakers -
I am needing some information about a pivot pin.
The pattern I am working is from Lene Bjorn's book,

Hello all,
I would just like to mention that next 1st. June will take place in
Viladecans at Cubic Building (surroundings of Barcelona) our Annual Lace

If anyone is in the area or is thinking on a trip to Barcelona it is
sure that will be a good occasion to know more about Spanish
Hello Jane and everyone
I looked up 'pivot pin' in the Illustrated Dictionary of Lacemaking
(Alexandra Stillwell, ISBN 0-304-34145-2), and checked what Bridget Cook
offers in Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace (ISBN 0-486-25561-1) both books
have been out of print, the latter might be available
Hello all,
Good news. A new Lace Pattern book have been published in Spain, by the
Xunta de Galicia, Department of Arts and Crafts.
While, the first book: ENCAIXE GALEGO TRADICIONAL included the lace
patterns usually worked in this area, this second book: FIOS E CORES,
contains coloured lace
