Re: [h-cost] Crespines--the hair net kind
Does anyone know of a commercial source for actual net crespines, as opposed to the crocheted ones? Thanks, Joan I don't know of a commercial source either thought I have noted that some basketball nets have the right sort of knot. :) I'll second the comments on learning to make the nets. It is easy once your learn how and have a good anchor to pull from. I learned from this lady http://wedcraft.com/netting.html I took one of her hands on classes and with a bit of practice got the hang of it. I think the handout is good (the first link.) She also lists several other very good sources for learning about netting. Cheers, Mary ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

There is also the pattern by Lynn McMasters (available on her website) for a beautiful knotted hair net. I made one in a class she taught in Berkeley, CA and it is beautiful. http://www.lynnmcmasters.com/ for her website Look under patterns for hat, then knotted coif.

Susan, I went to your link. The webpage came up temporarily, then quickly forwarded to a page with an eagle flying in the mountains. I clicked the back button and got to your lesson.

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.

Pillage Village's snoods are rayon.
