Well, for starters, I think the seller needs to learn how to use a camera
They look like bone clothes pegs! And the blurry object in the last
photo looks like it could be a large tatting shuttle.

Hello,
I visited Vologda in 1991 with a group of german lacemakers and we
were guests of the co-op ' Sneshinka' (Snowflake).I was the only
canadian in the group. Vologda, being in a restricted area, you had
to be invited to have the permission to travel there. We took the
train from

I have one which is very similar but with finer pegs that are
definitely ivory and it's a silk stocking repair and washing kit.

This past weekend we went to the Spoon River Drive in northern Illinois to
hit the garage sales and flea markets that are in several river towns. Not
much leaf color, but still was a nice drive along the river.
Being that it was the last weekend and the last day of the event, we cleaned
up and

It doesn't matter which way the bobbins are wound, providing that the
hitch is done accordingly in order that it will hold the thread. That
said, it's then just a
Hi All,
I agree - the video clip is beautifully done!
I would add that I am one who always ties the thread onto the bobbin - not
to make the winding of said bobbins easier, but to make sure I never lose
any bobbins if they run! I demonstrate all over the place and, like most
of us, have

Hi Carol and everyone
That is a good argument for tying the thread to the bobbins - to prevent the
release of bobbins from their tethers at public places e.g. when the
lacemaker's back is turned! I'll keep it in mind for a future demo occasion.

Thank you, Brenda, for the good explanation.
The main exceptions to cotton being Z-twist are those which are
specifically made for lacemaking; Egyptian gassed, Brok, and the
old cotton slip threads.
So I can keep my preferred way of winding the bobbins (anti-
clockwise) with the Egyptian
At my local lace group I was chatting to Betty, our librarian. She has been
working on a project to reproduce laces from some bed linen at a local
stately home, Dunham Massey, where she volunteers. Her interest is to draw
out the prickings from copies of the lace and work out how the original
Achim's right - I should have said It may well be that lacemakers of
old who were used to S-twist
linen demanded S-twist cotton. Burning the midnight oil!

Hello Steff
I doubt you'll find a supplier with DMC Cordonnet 70 still in stock as
it was discontinued years ago.
I've just had a look through my stash - I don't have any DMC Cordonnet
70, but I do have two balls of white Coats mercer crochet 70 which is
very similar, 2S/3Z - 28 wraps/cm.
There are 5 balls for sale on Ebay Item number: 140169164198

BlankHi all,
I will give you a very good reason to tie the thread onto the bobbins with a
slip knot.
I re-enact in a cabin with a wood floor. I could loose my mother's false
teeth through the holes between the boards. There is no getting them back...
HeHeHe. Acts like a fish line, just pull
I tie mine on after a hard lesson:
I wound up 200 pair for a project and head a knock on the door. It was
my downstairs neighbor. She was having a miscarriage and could I take
her to the ER. Of course, I was out the door before the words were
totally out of her mouth. Didn't even bother to turn
Thank you all for explaining why you tie your thread to the bobbins -
I don't, but at least now I will remember *why* it is a good idea and
will only have myself to blame if I lose a bobbin because of it not
being tied. It also gives me a reason to be more patient with another
lacemaker who is
One time, atleast 100 years ago (G), Gertrude Biedermann told me that the more
knots you tie, the more you have to untie...so I only tie when I am
leaving home!

Undoing two hitches worth at the end still leave one to hold the

Hi Lacer,
I have to jump in here...which you don't find me doing, but just can't
resist having a good laugh all over again.
I know this is about a tatting shuttle and not a bobbin, but sorta on
subject.
Several years ago, I found myself dropping my tatting shuttle (silver)

Apparently, this is an oldie, but it didn't make its way to me until
