[lace] Another thread question (or two)

2010-06-14 Thread Gray, Alison J
Dear Arachneans I went to my local needlecraft store on Saturday to buy some Sylko sewing cotton, the sort you use for dressmaking. I've been buying it in 1,000 m reels and using it for lace. To my surprise they didn't have any, according to the ladies in the shop it was withdrawn and replaced

HI Alison Coats/Sylko has long been problematic to sort out just what is what! For a long time the regular cotton thread sold for machine sewing was Sylko 50, mercerised cotton made by J. Dewhurst Sons / Dewhurst's, part of English Sewing Ltd. These reels had the three shells logo on the

Well, I wasn't going to say anything, as I have not been able to spend any amount of time studying, but one of my lace knitting groups had been discussing this shawl a week or so ago, and had come to the conclusion that the center is actually not knitted. The edging is knitted according to

OK, I'm going to be the voice of dissent. There's something weird about the fabric structure, so I don't think it's knitted. I've looked at dozens of Shetland shawls in my lifetime in museums, books, on the Web, etc., knitted a few myself, and I've never seen any stitch remotely resembling the

My first thought was that it was a picot guage for tatting... but all of those little things appear to be the same size. I can't see it well enough to determine if there are differences in the sizes. Clay On 3/31/2010 8:41 AM, David C COLLYER wrote: At 06:59 PM 31/03/2010, Jean Nathan

My first idea - what a cool Victorian 'gadget' - when all the arms are outstretched at right angles, does it form a perfect square and if so, would that be a measure of something related to sewing (a 'patch' ?) or knitting (a tension swatch? did they test in this way?) or it fell in with the

Look at the diagrams in the first section of the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_group !  A twist is different from a cross (we could have told them that!). A twist followed by a cross undoes the initial twist (yup). Take a look even if you are allergic to math. The diagrams alone
