Hello Carolyn,
there is another aspect. The men inventing these machines with wich it
was possible to make first only the net and later laces of different
types, were proud about their intlectual work. And those group of

Hello Cherry and everyone
I have done a bit of work with 'silver clay' - you can buy prepared cord,
too, (or is that what you already have?). I think it must be made by
extrusion. When I had the small packet to play with, I made some tiny rolls
to make a short BL plait. The trick is to keep it
The nearest would be Egyptian gassed 60, or Steff Francis Extra fine
mercerised cotton.

Brok 80/2 is a tiny bit finer, 60/2 a bit thicker.
Presencis Finca 80 is a 3ply thread which will produce a firmer feel to

It's machine lace. There's a statement in Elizabeth Kurella's book that says
that Alencon is a name greatly used by the machine lace companies even though
the lace is not like real Alencon. This is large and lovely, but not handmade.
