Hi Bev:
Somebody has already mentioned backing it - but I'm thinking you might not need
to back the whole thing - maybe if there are some opaque areas of cloth stitch
you could back just those, with the idea that the backing will hold the rest of
the piece away from the skin. Glue on a bit of m
I have very sensitive skin and find that metallic threads itch and scratch.
The only comfortable one that I've found is Bijoux Metallics (don't use
Accentuate, as it is too stretchy for bobbin lace). Bijoux only comes in
muted colours but makes very good lace

Wonderful colours, Devon! What fun!!
Do let us know if you find out how to get them.

I have a glass pendant, but the metal hanger at the top of it always made a
sore patch as it is rough and cheapish metal too. I just carefully painted
the back of it with clear acrylic nail polish. It doesn't show, and it is
certainly much more comfortable to wear.

Although it may lose a little of the lacey effect, you could mount the piece
to a thin strip of ultra suede to keep it off of the skin. There are many

I followed Ilske's advice and I googled Barbara Diesing. I found her

Hello everyone
For bobbin lace jewellery of metallic thread that touches the skin

Hello Devon and everyone
A guess based on the linen section of Brenda's T4L that Londonderry Nm 50/3
Nel 80/3 would work for you. The other is a colour with the intriguing name

Devon,
isn't there a email address of Barbara Diesing? If so write to her, she is
selling her threads. If not write to me and I look through all my addresses.
I'll see Barbara not before our congress next year.
