[lace] Another group of lace bobbins on ebay
There's anther lot of lace bobbins on ebay. More feasible as such that the previous lot, but they're not for bobbin lacemaking. They could be for another type of lacemaking, if so, what? To me they look more like elaborate toggle buttons found on duffle coats for instance. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Wooden-lace-bobbins-craft-/261412981449?pt=UK_Cra fts_Lace_Making_EThash=item3cdd6d8ac9 http://tinyurl.com/ndexmf5 Jean Nathan in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

I think that they are handles to use with plastic supermarket bags. I've seen these for sale by bobbin turners at lace fairs L Kind Regards Liz Baker On 3 Mar 2014, at 07:58, Jean Nathan jean...@hotmail.co.uk wrote: There's anther lot of lace bobbins on ebay.

Hi Arachnids, I agree with Liz and have just emailed the vendor to that effect. Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex where the sun is shining at the moment (more rain forecast :-(.

Re: [lace] Cotton
Whilst I haven't seen that brand of 60/2 Egyptian cotton I'm pretty sure it will be fairly fine, and being 2 ply will work up into a soft lace which drapes well, so suitable for clothing trim. Point ground, fine torchon, Bedforshire - whatever your personal preference. Brenda On 3 Mar 2014, at 11:39, ann.humphreys wrote: Isis 60/2 Egyptisch Katoen.

Re: [lace] Cotton
I used this thread several years ago when I made an Alex Stillwell piece out of her Geometric book, looked a bit like tipis to me around the square hanky frame I made. The pattern was bucks point, so quite fine and in the early part of the pattern i did have one or two problems with it pulling apart, about the S or Z twist I think, or maybe at the beginning of the spool. Once it had happened twice I was fairly careful with it and the piece worked up nicely and after a hefty push from Elizabeth in Australia ;-) I actually got it finished off and around the edge of my hanky. Have fun Ann.
