DIL, a member of the SCA (Society of Creative Anachronists) has chosen to make
a simple bobbin lace edging, p32 in 'Elizabethan Lace' by Gilian Dye. The
edging will be in linen thread to match a linen shift.
The suggested thread is 50 linen or Special Dentelles 80. The Bockens 50/2
linen I have is 24 wraps/cm compared to 30 wraps for the cotton ('Threads for
lace').
I made a sample with 80/2 linen (28 wraps/cm) and that wasn't too bad although
the single loop picots were a bit iffy - they are tiny in the illustration too.
Has anyone made this pattern? What thread did you use?
