Gidday all,
I am in urgent need of historical info on specifically Torchon lacemaking.
I have wracked my brains, my books and the internet, but everyone seems to
talk about lacemaking in general, or the earliest records of lacemaking, or

Hi Michelle -
An excellent resource on the internet is the Digital
Archives of Documents Related to Lace which has been put
together by Tess Parrish and Ralph Griswold. The articles
on the website are mixed in with articles about weaving and
textiles, but there is a wealth of information there.
Hi Avril.
Many thanks for the web sites for Czech lace.There is much to admire.
I am going to Prague in July so will look forward to seeing the lace itself.

There is actually a small amount of authentic historical information on
torchon. The book LePompe 1559 is a pattern book published in 1559 which
consists of woodcuts of patterns for bobbin lace. It is the oldest pattern

Hi there, can anyone remind me where I saw instructions for making a
triangular pocket to pin to my lace pillow for holding scissors, crochet
hook etc. I could have sworn that I'd printed the instructions but I can't
find them anywhere. I've looked on the Lacefairy site but can't see anything

David Collyer has excellent instructions which I have used quite a bit. Maybe

I beg to differ too, David,
Mimosa IS wattle. It was imported from Australia in the 18th century and
colonised in the south of France which is warm enough for it. There are
very few species of it in France, not the 500 and some which we have in
Australia. There is also another tree called acacia
