WOW Nancy you have really been doing 'my homework'.
I will dig out my gem microscope today and take a look. I did not when I was
viewing at 10 power that the ends sticking out were very straight, also there
were various thicknesses.
I have printed out the materials w=you have located on line

Hi All,
I have a cone of thread that still has the original plastic cover and
labels on it (including the 9052), and it is the exact same as Lorri's
except it is 70/2. The FFR red label does say Fil de Lin Dentelles, so I
think Lorri's thread is linen. From several cones I have, at one point it
There's also a test to distinguish cotton from linen done by pulling the
thread apart and testing the strength of the fibers. Bottom of right-hand

I'm sorry to be a stickler, but it is actually not conclusive that what
Lorri has is linen on the basis of Jane's evidence. Jane's second cone,
which is labeled linen, has a different stock number (9051 instead of
9052). We still don't have a 9052 with an outer label on it. Neither of the

I have found several non repeated mistakes so it is most likely hand made but

Tamara sent me two files to upload to Flickr, and I received her emails

Hi Spiders,
It has been my habit to write little notes to eBay sellers who misidentify
textile items as lace when it is not, or they use the wrong lace name. I sent
one of my notes to someone selling laces from China saying that this machine
made lace was not tatting. She sputtered a bit and

U, right off hand I am tempted to call it an afficot (used to burnish
threads in a finished piece of needlelace). The hook at the end is a bit of
a puzzler but perhaps that is an artifact of a prior break in the bone.
On the other hand, you could make a case for it being a primitive shoe
I'm inclined to think that it's an afficot, smooth for burnishing and
with a hook to tease out raised parts of the lace. Malvary's
suggestion of a rug hook is possible though - for making rag rugs where
the fabric is poked through canvas rather than hooked rugs for which a
latch hook is
