Just my thoughts, I was hoping that some of the Arachne members would have come across something. We are getting information and proof that thorns can be used for coarse lace, but are they in response to the 'old wives tale' giving the idea? I am finding the responses most interesting, but still no proof that the very fine lace could have been made this way.
