Dear Lacemakers,
> This is a list of supplies compiled by the Lace List a few years ago. I > found a printout of this with my lace patterns as I was filing them. > While the List is rather quiet, you might like to review these items. > How many of these things do you have in your lace supplies? Do you have > something in your supplies that is *not* on this list? > > > BASIC LACEMAKING SUPPLIES > > (snip) Last December I went to the National Christmas Lacemakers' Fair at Birmingham and bought a couple of items. Both were new to me, and I'm not sure exactly what to call either of them, (so they may be on your list without my having recognised them). But whatever they're called, I wouldn't be without either of them now! One looks like a horseshoe made of green plastic, which supports fine thread so that it doesn't rub on the fabric of the pillow cover. The other supports one's pattern. The pattern is held between a pair of wooden holders, which are mounted on pins so that you can sit the pattern on the pillow - very convenient. You can see them here:- http://www.langendorfkloeppel.de/proamer/produkt/kloeppz_a.htm Scroll down until you see the green horseshoe, and the pattern-holder is just above it. (I'm afraid that web page shows all sorts of other goodies which may begin to look like essentials . . . Sorry!) Best wishes, Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K., where it's *very* hot and sticky again. So should we add a box of those handwipes to the list? You know, a sealed waterproof box containing tissues damped with some sort of cooling and cleaning lotion or eau-de-Cologne, which evaporates very quickly.).
