I have just bought some raw wood bobbins from the USA, previously all my

Hi Ladies (and Gentlemen!)
A friend and I were lacing yesterday, just at the time of the post! We
had a meeting of our 'Lace Ladies At Home' - and only Jenny and I were
there, so it was a *very* select pair of lacers!We very rarely know just

Hi Jacquie,
This made me laugh. I also had one of those stickers in my little

quite some time, and was using it one day to go to the lace-making group in
Woodbridge, Suffolk.(Incidentally, I think the sticker was
I was actually crocheting lace at the time of the original post, but my
pillows were laying idle :) A pale grey-green lace piece which will
become a purse. Hopefully in time for the ballet week after next :)
Happy lacing,

Hi Simon -
Yes, there are a fair number of male lacemakers out there! But just for the
record, I am not one of them, although lots of people assume I'm male because

Hello Simon and everyone
To add to the good advice contributed by Jenny in Spain, if the wood
bobbins are completely unfinished, you could seal the wood before
using them to prevent possible checking (cracking). Apply a coat of
'wood sealer' - available with the acrylic paints for crafts.

Hi Simon! Welcome to this wonderful list of lacemakers, both female and
male. There are several of us male lacemakers lurking about in most
countries. Only a few pipe up with Q/A and chat. Your question about the

Since the first attempt to send this got lost in cyberspace (received three

Hi Adele and everyone
There is a lace called Regency Point that was made in Northamptonshire
in the 18-teens. It is a point ground lace that differs slightly in
style from Buckspoint, but for your purposes you could do a Bucks
edging for the neck trim and it would look right ;)

Hi Adele
Great to hear (read) what lace you decided! Yes, surely there is a way
to finagle a Danish connection, perhaps a sister married a Danish Man
of Money visiting the area on business and for whom a fancy dress ball
