> Marianne Stang: may I make a little correction? The color code was invented in Bruges in 1911/12. > The lace school had more than 70 students, so it became necessary to solve this problem.

I was surprised nobody had answered before. -Karen Sent from my iPad - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
