Hello Everybody,
A small addition to Tamara's and Dorte's emails about hakpar.
Actually hakpar means weaver but ONLY in connection with the dent between two
scallops. All other places the expression gangpar (weaver) is used.
The dent is in Danish named hak and it may forexample consist of 4

PBLC is Poole Bobbin Lace Circle.
I remember Pam designing this angel in 1997 when I first started bobbin
I would agree that the bobbin has definitely been rebeaded, I've compared it
with some of the Haskins bobbins in my own collection and I think it is old.
The spots at the spangle end, which would have been large and colourful on a
Haskins bobbin, are worn down to mere dots, the spangle looks
I agree with you Ken. That's not a Haskins head. Or tail I feel either.

Yes, Poole Bobbin lace Circle it is. Now I'll have to search through all my
pricking files to find Pam's design.. I know that she is very talented and
not just with lace. We both went to the same lace teacher many years ago.
At that time Pam was making jewellery and I still wear the carnelian
Yes I agree that her Bucks patterns are very good as they are very precisely
and evenly printed therefore giving a much neater piece of lace. . I love
Bucks Point and have just finished her Hexagonal edging No1 and I am very
pleased with the result.
Happy lacing

Dear Spiders - especially relatively new lacemakers who are interested in old
bobbins...
Some years ago, I heard Holly Van Sciver give a talk on antique bobbins. She
is very knowledgeable, and would be a wonderful speaker on the subject at one
of your lace days. In this talk, she addressed
Thank you Aage, for that further bit of information. It fills in the final
missing bit of information as to the difference between gangpar and hakpar.
I love Tonder lace, and this is such a beautiful, gorgeous design!
Thanks again to all who responded to my inquiry.

oh yucky joy...
yes you should be able to wash the ornaments and re-stiffen. The
several stiffener products I'm aware of, available at crafts outlets
are water-based, which is good. There are others that chemically
penetrate the fibre (Jana Novak sells one) which probably can't be
're-done' after
Sorry I am a tad late...Beth I have been using one or another method of
stiffening and restiffening for years. Some require nothing and some a
lot.verything from sugar water, cornstarch, diluted glue to commercial
stiffeners...even Acrylic spray! This last I do not use any
I know she has a website somewhere
Is this it? http://www.shireburnlace.co.uk/torchon%20edgings.htm

for 'wreath containers' - those circular shaped plastic bins
seasonally available, that could be used for storing lace pillows. I

Hi All, I think the word Clay was looking for is spelled provenance.

I also once heard Holly Van Sciver give a talk on bobbins. It was
quite fascinating! I especially remember her showing us a slide of lots of

Dear Janice,
I know that Tamara has T N LACE on her car plate but I was wondering if
anyone can think of a good lacemaking personalized plate.
I've often thought about this, and would love to have LACEMAN. But
unfortunately here in Victoria, Australia, we're only allowed to have 6
digits or
LACEXY?;-)

Dear David,
Your last idea made me chuckle. Could you go with LACEMN or BLACER?

I threw out all my Christmas tree stuff last summer because of a mold issue;
starting over.
I've always used those plastic balls with fine colored thread wrapped around
them.
This season I can't find any. Not in the supermarket, the craft store,
Hobby Lobby, Target, nor Walmart.

Hi Secret Pal.
Thanks for the wonderful parcel I just received. The mini lifesavers are
delicious. The thread and needle case are great and the bobbins are just about
to be wound for my next project (if I can convince my cat that he really
doesn't want to sleep on top of my lace!).
