Re: [lace] Mark's tape
And there was me looking at it and thinking that it would make a brilliant base for milanese. all in VERY bright colours!!! It's gorgeous...

At the bottom point all the pairs could be made into a long braid with a tassel. It is also a good beginner's pattern: it has a place to end, a place to start, left curves and right curves for turning stitches on both sides and sewings. A student could work it once right side up and once upside down to deal with hanging on and adding pairs or removing pairs. Tape is such fun to design.

Bamboo is cellulose, most of it is regenerated fibres so that is rayon, a very small amount is the original fibres processed in a similar way to linen. Soy makes a protein fiber?! I would have thought, since it's plant matter, that it made a cellulose fiber. Do you know anything about how the protein(s) is/are extracted? Just curious. Here are a couple of references to protein fibres from soy beans: http://www.swicofil.com/soybeanproteinfiber.html http://euroflax.com/products_imports%20of_textiles.htm Brenda in Allhallows www.brendapaternoster.me.uk - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Lacemaking tool that boggles the mind
This is no lacemaking object. It's a child's puzzle. I bought one for my children many years ago but it was made of wood. The idea is that you have to get both beads together on the same part of the string. Oh yes, it can be done ( if you have an hour or two to spare.) I can't find it at the moment or I would scan it. However there is a similar one (not exactly the same) on this website - right at the bottom of the page.

Re: [lace] Mark's tape
You are welcome! Such good ideas!!! I thought about Milanese too ;) Would like to see the results from anyone who tries out this design. Please let me know of any snags in the pattern or a better way to go about it. Teachers are welcome to share this pattern with their beginners.
