Just curious, I looked in my Gage dictionary with word origins, and the word 'mangle' for the machine (as for laundry) is from the Dutch 'mangel' and latin 'manganum', a contrivance. or from the Greek (info from AskOxford online), 'manganon' axis, engine.
I would like to thank Sally for posting about mangling some time ago - I stored the how-to for future reference, and when the topic came up on another lace group, I decided to give it a try. Works like a darn. or a mangle ;) -- Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com blogging lace at www.looonglace.blogspot.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
