I recently acquired a copy of 's-Gravenmoerse Kant by Tiny Bruins and
Hanneke Troost.
Throughout, they refer to using Egyptian cotton 50/3, but according to my
copy of Thread for Lace, there is no such thread
Do they mean Egyptian cotton 50/2?

Holly Van Sciver lists Egyptian cotton 50/3 on her web site
http://vansciverbobbinlace.com/2Threads.html. She ships internationally.
Just because a thread isn't listed in Brenda's book doesn't mean it doesn't
exist. It just means Brenda hasn't measured the thread. If you buy some,

Dear Arachnids
I have enjoyed my contact with Brenda P. as I have sent her a few threads
she didn't have.
She has replied each time, so that I know my sample arrived safely on her
door step and each one was added to the addendum and are in the new version.
I sent her a new one around Christmas
Sorry -- but sewing those six pinholes is your only
option. All the threads are needed to go around the
leaf, so sewings are the method to attach the second
side to the first side.
If the size of the leaf diminished from the base to
the point, and threads were dropped off along the
stem, then
Yesterday I accompanied my twins to Edinburgh and while they explored I
walked to Holyrood Palace to see the exhibition of fans. Well worth the
visit - saw four sizeable lace fans, one of which is a Carrickmacross fan,

Barbara's seen this thread and replied with exactly what I would have
said - if anything's not listed in Threads for Lace it's because I
haven't seen it, not that it isn't/wasn't made!
I have just received the pack of silk and hemp samples that I ordered
from Aurora Silk in Oregon - thanks
Thanks for all the replies to this
I've checked the prickings in the book - they are all 4mm between footside
pinholes, so Egyptian 50/3 would be about 30-32 wpc as Brenda
guesses/expects. That being the case, I can happily use my Finca 40 which
my local craft shop stocks (but I have to drive
Do you know how long the fan exhibition is on for. Micki? I shall be in the
Edinburgh area mid June and would love to see it.

Hi Spiders,
We had a great workshop last weekend at L.A.C.E. with Jean Leader. She
taught both Bucks and Beds. By now she is probably home and relaxing or doing
her laundry.
I finished my Beds Butterfly today. I did the one that is on the cover of
her Beds book produced by the Lace
I'm always getting splattered with olive oil when I fry eggs (yes, I know I
shouldn't). I think the US
calls them sunny-side up. I cook them the same way up all through and splish
the oil over the tops with a fish slice. Needless to say some gets splished
over the cooker top and over the front
Dear Lynne,
I would now try WD-40!!!
You can get it at any large hardward store in a spray can. It will be with
things for cleaning cars.

I usually remove oil stains from my clothes by rubbing the stain with
dish soap (Dawn in the U.S.) and then putting it in the laundry with
my usual clothes detergent. This usually gets the stains out, although
once when the stains were really extensive, I had to repeat the process
a second time.
