Thank you for your kinds words about my website.

Lacemakers on the continent habitually put the footside on the left. And as
you say, that is a relatively easy thing to deal with.
As to CTTT or TTTC, etc. - don't worry about it. Just be sure to put twists in
where needed. Make sure that as ground pairs enter the foot, or leave the
foot,
Regina
I think your choice of words is appropriate. I would use
white = bleached,
cream = half bleached,
ecru = 1/4 bleached,
natural (or gray) = unbleached. For linen the term "gray" is often used to
mean unbleached, although the color is like a dark ecru.

The wooden part of a midlands bobbin is quite small and very light weight. I

If your alternate theory is correct it would account for why modern Italian

I just did a google search onBrussels bobbin lace and Flemish
bobbin lace. I have posted them on my pinterest board. It is usually hard to
find such early laces.
