I've used the bundle start in Flanders and Binche, and Rosaline, and any
time I want to do a quick sample of a lace; easy to hang a bunch from a big
pin and settle the group into pairs as you will have found when starting
Rosaline. For a wider lace, I use several bundles.

It was an efficient method where lacemakers were trying to earn income from
piecework.
