Wonder why some sellers list a few lacemaking bits as Partial lacemaking
kit, rather than e.g. bobbins, wire, beads and books. It's not much of a

write them a note so they'll believe, change the title, and get the right
bidders to bid on them. Its mean to know what they are and not say.

Reference to kit tempts the bidders to open the auction.
They don't claim to be a complete kit, so it is still accurate. If the
listers can think up a more appropriate way to title the objects, write to

Yes, good idea to point out to the seller what they are, then the right
bidders can know about them ;)
I had a thought related to lace, did the machines for lacemaking use such a
