Hi Arachnids, A lace maker in Dutch is a âkantklosterâ (kant=lace; klos[je]=bobbin; kloster=[female] user of bobbins).
Could the girl be peering at the work to see the pricking better if she is myopic? I am myopic and if I want to see really fine work my glasses come off and I get close to the work. I can then see the work better than any of my students who are not myopic.
