The same website also has a later booklet about identifying hand-made lace http://www.dressandtextilespecialists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Identifying-Handmade-lace.pdf I wrote the ID part which was used in workshops on lace for textile conservators. It also has a useful section about Conservation, display and storage of lace written by textile conservator, Anne Amosford.

[lace] lace identification websites and books
We are really fortunate to have Jean Leader providing her new website www.lacetypes.com I just tested it on my hp desktop, and it is terrific. I also often use Jean's Lace app on my i-phone. It is also very, very useful. The symbol is a lace cap if you are looking for it. The cost is very minimal and well worth it. Elena pointed out the V's site http://www.dressandtextilespecialists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Lace-Booklet.pdf which I also find extremely helpful, especially for identifying the machine made laces. Santina Levey's Lace - A History along with Pat Earnshaw's books on lace identification are all fantastic. There are certainly many more, but these are the ones I find most useful for most laces. -Karen on the Atlantic coast in Delaware - and sometimes Washington, DC - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
