I know this is a little past its prime, but I knew I'd seen it somewhere, and I found the references again this morning while browsing my 1860 Godey Lady's book.
I found several references to the decorative hairwork and they refer to specific braids and use a certain 'bobbin' or list how many bobbins (I forget, as I just skimmed those pages). But they made bracelets and all sorts from decorative hair braiding. Sorry, can't scan it as the binding is too tight and it's a large volume and still in decent shape for its age. I also came across the quaint little piece about pillow lace - I think it's a report of what was seen on a travel.
