Hi Fellow Lacemakers,
My daughter has been asked to be Godmother for a very good friends daughter
and has asked me to make some lace for the baby. I would love to but do not

Thank you in advance

What you make may depend on how long you have before the Christening. What
about a small picture to be framed? There are some stylised pictures of
Madonna and child that are not much more than a curved shape which might be
appropriate.

Hello Wendy
Schappe silk is the German name for spun silk; ie all the bits and
pieces that break of during the reeling process to produce filament
silk. So, Schappe silk 200/2 isn't a brand and it doesn't tell me
which numbering system is being used. If it's metric Nn 200/2 it's

Hello all,
I have heard of paper string for bobbin lace and would like to try some. I
