I have a copy of Elsie Gubserâs âBobbin Laceâ - where she explains that
Brussels Lace must be made with very fine thread and that for her sample she
had used Knoxâs 150/2 lace thread, which "will have to do until finer thread
is on the market.â Well, Mrs. Gubser - weâre still waiting!
Yes Shirley T. and David, I remember the shop called The Lacemaker very
well!!
Goodness! It was about the only place you could get lacemaking supplies. It
was very sad when it closed.
Before that, though, I used to buy cones of linen thread at a little shop in
the city where they kept it on a
Dyes have not been known for fastness until recently. Linen shifts and shirts

Dear Cathie
It was brilliant wasn’t it! The visitors book was like a Who’s Who of the Lace
world of the time.
I remember when Pat Rowley invited me, with my Northamptonshire lace research,
to be a part of it my reaction was - Yes Please! The end results finally
confirmed what I had always
Janeâs point about historic lace in color is well taken. In fact, I was
privileged to take a tour of Spain in which we learned Frisado de Vallodolid,
and also saw practically all the pieces in Spain. This lace which was made in
the 16th and 17th centuries exclusively by nuns for church use was
