exciting to go through bags of lace stuff looking for gems, but I
wanted to
ask what "foxed" means? I have never come across that phrase before.
Hi:
You usually hear 'foxed' when dealing with old books; it means the
paper has acquired brownish staining or spots due to age, dampness, or
other factors.
Since old paper is primarily linen and/or cotton, it does not surprise
me that thread could also become foxed, though this is the first time
I've heard the term used with regard to thread.
