I would suggest that it has to do with the process of making the thread in the first place. Natural fibres tend to be cream or ecru as the base colour. To get white would require a bleaching process and bright white would have been even harder to get. Whereas muted colour can be overdyed on the cream/ecru.
Anyone else have thoughts on this? Hugs Jenny B in Kununurra, Western Australia -----Original Message----- Nathalie asked... Why was lace white from the beginning? Why was the white colour dominant through the centuries and even nowadays? - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
