Re: [h-cost] Crespines--the hair net kind
Pillage Village's snoods are rayon. They look to be crocheted and not filet net work but I can't seem to get a close up of it to be sure. http://www.pillagedvillage.com/~pillaged/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/HTC_Snoods.html?id =Gn3va5eA&mv_pc=572 http://tinyurl.com/67yoaz example of the filet lace http://tinyurl.com/635kma Filet net http://www.filetlace.net/history http://lace.lacefairy.com/ID/FiletID.html filet net normally used to make snoods http://flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2496811249/ To my understanding, crespine, crespinette and fret are the names used pre-1600s for netted cauls (cauls being a broad term for a style of head covering). The name "snood" is post-1600s netted caul. De -Original Message- If you're looking for snoods (what's the difference between a snood and a crespine??), check out www.pillagedvillage.com They're woven nylon and will fit just about anyone. Also easy to embellish, if you wish. Sell at $4 each, or 3 for $10, many colors available.

Re: [h-cost] Crespines--the hair net kind
Will this be taught at Pennsic? I highly recommend learning how to do it if you'd like nets made from coloured thread. Once you've learned the basic knot, it's a surprisingly fast and easy thing to do.

Like these? http://www.instawares.com/hairnet-nylon-28in-box.401-dhn500bk.0.7.htm You might be able to find singles (or small quantities) at a good beauty supply, or even restaurant supply shop. Other than these nylon-type nets, I have never seen netted hairnets sold anywhere. I make my own, and everyone else I know who has one either does the same or gets them from someone else who does.
