Alix, Clay and Susan,
Thank you very much for the information on the Binche rabbit pattern. I
know that the Lace Guild has a copy of this folio so will ask if it is
available. Arachne is a wonderful source of information for lacemakers.

It is listed on the book section, the first item under General

Dear All,
I heard at the end of the programme that lacemaking would feature in the
next episode, but didn't actually see the trailer. I have just looked at
the BBC blog and read that the farm this time is in Devon at Morwellham
