<I would like to suggest an alternative to wool for bobbin lace <projects: tussah silk! I have made two garments so far and am working <on a third.

It is <only available, as far as I can find, directly from the manufacturer in <Switzerland (iffy, because they don't always answer their mail) or from <Christine Mirecki in Germany (she answers hers very promptly!). <Christine uses this silk in her beautiful designs and sells her <patterns as well. Expensive, but so beautiful! May I suggest you contact Langtved Gaardbutik in Saeby, Denmark. There Susanne Steinmeier has all kinds of silk also tussah and they dye in all colours too.
