Dear Susan, Yes, there is way too much to know about lace (and textiles, in general). Since I've seen no Arachne responses to your inquiry about "Chinese laces", please tell us more about what you wish to understand: the author/document/page(s) where you found the referenced subject. I'll take a look, and perhaps can find more recent books that can be of help to you - in my private library of books still covered by copyrights. Here is a repeat of the direct access address for laces: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center --------------------------------------------------------- In a message dated 9/12/2016 2:50:08 P.M.

There are references to "Chinese laces" that I do not understand but perhaps someone will enlighten or I will find the answer in subsequent issues. I'd like to think that Arachne will remain relevant because we support it with questions & comments. There is way too much to know & no single lace maker is likely to be fluent in all forms of lace, just as a linguist might know five languages rather than thirty. That makes Arachne a logical information hub for what we do. It's a pearl of great value.
