Hi Fellow Arachnids,

No connections with the firm, just a happy customer as are several of my students. Happy Lacemaking! BEST GREETINGS OF THE SEASON FOR EVERYONE OF ANY -RELIGIOUS OR OTHERWISE- PERSUATION! Joepie, in wet and windy Sussex, UK. (Thankfully we did not have any snow here......yet :-).

I don't know where you are, but Holly Van Sciver in the US carries it. ( vansciverbobbinlace.com). It's expensive, $275, but I'll bet she imports them from the UK or Europe so you might be able to find it there. I have one and I love it.
