'hook and eye' mentioned by Tamara. What was even worse, was 4 (and it had
to be 4 according to my teacher) threads exactly one and a half inches long

I have a few (box full) of brass lace pins that are badly tarnished.

Dear spiders,
Please do not post the same message to both lists. If it's lace-related, it
belongs on the lace list. If it's not lace-related, then it belongs on the

I just found the huge Ziploc bags in Zellers. They come in 2 sizes: XL

Dearest Spiders,
Today I went to a local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) event, just
folks from the New Orleans area, and a friend introduced a new gal, by
saying, this is our lace maker, you should see her lace. And the lady,
Joanne, asked if I made bobbin lace, something she's always
I just found the XXL and XL bags in our local grocery - which is part of a
large regional chain... Food Lion . Three (XXL) in a box for $5.99. So
they should be in most grocery stores in the US now. Look in the section
