I pop the e-mail out before finishing my letter.
When I was in Malta in May and took the lace course there we only
used rayon threads. Since silk has become too expansive for
them their lace is done either in rayon or linen. (Karen correct me
if I'm wrong). Also the lace sold at the tourist centers was rayon.
It wasn't easy to work with it at the beginning because the Maltese
bobbins we were given were rather rough and not well finished and the
rayon got caught on them. When I got home and used my continentals
the work was much easier though the hitch still gave me some trouble.
