help page as I don't master these languages.

Hi,
I think it may be part of the winding mechanism for industrial weaving

I suppose it's part of our nature that as we speak and communicate in
English, and many of us can't/don't speak another language, we assume that
the majority of lacemakers can speak English. I haven't tried it, but if you
googled the words for lace from the 'International Lace Dictionary':

You are correct - I should have mentioned that eventually all the types are

I've heard the new reports about cross word puzzles keeping the brain active,
and how important learning new things is for keeping dementia of age and
alzheimers at bay. From the very first time I heard those things I thought
