The Catalonian Association of Lacemakers held their annual Lace Day in the town of Olot on June 8, 2014. Over 5,000 people attended. They had room for 3,000 lacemakers, I'm not sure exactly how many signed up.
They set a Guinness World Record for the longest bobbinlace ever made, 969 meters long, 6 cm wide, which was worked on beforehand by over 1,800 lacemakers. Not sure how it was all put together. I have the detailed meeting announcement on LaceNews at http://tinyurl.com/mj9d6pk. This is the largest bobbinlace meeting in the world. _________________________________________________________________ Laurie Waters [email protected], [email protected] <http://lacenews.net/> http://lacenews.net - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
