The 2/70 Japanese knitting silk from Uppingham Yarns is one that I use a
lot for Milanese. It is similar to the Madeira 80, Finca 80 or 100, Gassed
Cotton 80 range of cotton threads in the way it works and the number of pairs
that are needed. I have probably about 1/3rd to 1/2 the colours so
In 2007 I bought very large cones of silk thread at the Whitchurch
Silk Mill in Whitchurch, Hampshire. This is a working museum and
very interesting to visit. The gift shop sells very small amounts of
thread, but if you ask, they'll rummage through the mill and find
some cones which
The Dentelles de papier section is pergamano or parchment craft (I
think Miriam Gidron does this), but the Dentelle aux fuseaux section
is bobbin lace. What would one do with so many parasols? Most women
don't use parasols on a regular basis and they would take up quite a
lot of room for storage.
I have received an inquiry from a woman who is looking for information on
Broomstick Crochet, otherwise known as Jiffy lace. She has done some
research an finds contradictory evidence in articles about where it started.
One
theory is that it originated in America where early settlers used
Here`s my two penn`th.
One of my ladies went there and showed us the threads she got. I phoned them
up and the young lady was so helpfull going through the colours in the silk

Hi Devon,
This question about Broomstick lace immediately sent me to Dillmont's
Encyclopedia of Needlework.
The stitch formation is exactly the same as what Dillmont calls Tunisian
Crochet.
The large size of the loops and crocheting across the tops of the loops is
the modern twist.
So while
These are lovely, Sof. I purchased a lace umbrella (Battenburg) in St.
Lucia (West Indies) last month while on a cruise, only to leave it in
the taxi on the way to the airport in Ft. Lauderdale. I'd been
thinking about ordering a replacement from among some I found on the
internet, but now
Hello,

Anne-Marie made all her umbrella. One by year. She find first the frame?
and adapt a pattern on it. She work 6 months by year on her project.

Hi All, I'm a bit late on this one and I am going with what books would you
take if you were marooned on a desert island. That seems to mean that I
would have LOTS of time for lacemaking G.
Anyway I would take Needlelace - Designs and Techniques Classic and
Contemporary by Catherine Barley.
Just wanted to say that I got one student in the class at the art gallery. We
had just cancelled the class when one lady said she wanted to take it, so I
un-cancelled it. It's a start!

Hi All, I got some lacy file folders at Staples in the US. One of the
single ones has a doily pictured on it. Then there is a pack of 12 black
and white folders with lace-like patterns on them. It seemed like it might
make a good secret pal gift for someone!
I just bought them for me and I'm
