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?

Pat Earnshaw's "Threads of lace; from source to sink", published by 
Gorse Publications 1989
ISBN 0-9513891-1-4 is very informative.

There's info about the different sources of fibres, identifying 
different fibres, scientific data about the thicknesses of threads in 
antique lace etc.  As with her other books it's thoroughly researched 
and detailed.
