Hello Nathalie, I would recomend you to get your hands to: Pat Earnshaw "Bobbin and Needlelaces Identification and Care" But i can tell you that most laces back in time was made of either flax or silk. In Tonder (Denmark) cotton was beginning to be used about 1840 and this was a reduction of the quality, as flax is much better for lace.
Bjarne in frosty and dark Copenhagen. Hello, I am looking for information on threads used for laces. I am especially interested in finding information which relates to thread (in cotton, flax,...) used in the past. Does anyone know of any books and/or websites which focus on this subject?
