However, for every day lace I'm now hooked on the Kleinhot green horseshoe which I know one of the UK lace suppliers also sells - I believe this was Brenda Patanoster. I bought 3 at the Xmas lace fair, last year so I could have them all over my pillows!! And at about a pound a throw they are brilliant.
