Dear Devon, Vima deMarchi Micheli is the Embroiderers' Guild of America teacher of Italian needle-made techniques. She may have supplies. She shows examples in her book I sent you a couple years ago - "Italian Needlework Treasures". Jeanine Robertson of Canada is a member of Arachne, and has a site devoted to Italian needlework. Search her name. She writes for PieceWork. Search on PieceWork's site for additional contemporary info. For history - some coverage in Volume 1 of Elisa Ricci's "Old Italian Lace", which can be read at: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html There may be other old books at this site that will help. I know the Ricci, because it was my set that was scanned to make it available worldwide.

There is a young scholar studying Burato. She would like to try to make some Burato. Does anyone know of a source for the fabric, which appears to be something resembling a leno weave, or any information or instructions?
