Thank you for explaining that to me it all makes sense now. The penny has
finally dropped and it is now very clear as to how these threads work.

Hello
I went into our local craft shop today looking for silk thread, found
Guttermans Sulky.
I had forgotten to take the sheet of paper with my information so couldn't
check with the lady, because I couldn't remember what the comparisons were.
I know I am hopeless, sorry. I wasn't expecting to
Hi Sue
Gutermann Sulky is a rayon thread - comes in two sizes, 30 and 40; the
30 is similar thickness to Gutermann 100/3 silk, but continuous
filament rather than spun from short lengths of fibre.

Hi All,
I think it is a commonplace problem! When I first joined Essex Lace
Makers, about thirty years ago, we had (and still have!) the Open Lace Day
in October. We used the largest village hall in the country, had loads of
suppliers, and sold 250 tickets - with a long waiting list for
I think also a lot of the problem of declining numbers is the internet,
when I first started to make lace some 20years ago the only way we could
get lace supplies was at a lace day or by a few catalogues, I know that
many of our club members buy things online and I have on a couple of
occasions
(Please forgive the delay in telling the next part of the nun's story, but I
have been giving two important lectures, one on weaving, the other on
embroidery and they took a lot of preparation.)
Pauline and I were looking at the lace in the Convent Treasury Museum, Zadar.
Then we became aware of

It's not just the declining numbers that worries me. It seems that the
average age of the lacemakers is increasing as well.
When the guild's started up 30 or so years ago, there was a great deal of
interest, a huge lace revival if you like. But also many younger women were
not working and had
I remember going to Lace Days down in Chicago with a bunch of vendors, some
as far away as Quebec barely speaking English. Then I had kids, and less
time too many pins -- now, a dozen or more years later the Lace Day
seems much smaller. It may just be my bad memory though. Also, we went

Not only are lace days and groups getting smaller and older, orchid
societies and shows are too. Again, a matter of availability. With so much
coming from China and Taiwan, things are rapidly and not necessarily for the
better IMHO.

I've never been to a lace day. Since I only began to make lace years after
moving to Israel (and I am not a traveler), that is understandable.
However drumroll I am hoping and planning to be in northern Italy next
summer for a brief trip. It will be a combination religious- and
