Quite a few years ago one of the lace groups that meets in Wales had one posted
on the banner on their website. When I emailed inquiring about it, they were
nice enough to email me a copy of the pricking. Unfortunately, I cannot
remember their name, but I do know they are not too far from
I have a question. I occasionally dabble in making lace in wire, but have
never had any formal lessons to help. I know that some of you have a lot
more experience, and will be able to answer this question.
I know that people talk of working with two or three strands of fine wire,

At the top an example worked with of splitted electrical wire, 3-strand, any
plying just came natural. Unplied it better fills the cloth stitch sections.

I just work the threads/wires parallel to each other. Just carefully wind
them on the bobbin evenly. Be sure to turn the bobbin -do not wrap the wire
around the bobbin.
To ply or twist them together would begin the 'work hardening' process and
make them more difficult to work with.

Dear Lacemakers,

Guild (to which I belong) from a mother who had taken her child to a recent
meeting for beginning instruction. She was asking for book references to help
her daughter progress as a lacemaker.

My one attempt at making BL with wire was not a success, but further to
Lorri's comments about twisting the wires together starting the work
hardening process; if you have access to a small blowtorch plus tongs
and a fire resistant surface you could twist two or three wires
together, anneal
Like a couple of the list members suggested, I also
work with unplied wire, which maintains its
flexibility, fills spaces nicely, yet is stronger than
single strands.

Sorry to bother you all again. I have found in my stash a small spool of
fine silver wire which I bought from Lenka Suchanek a couple of years ago.
unfortunately it is not marked with the gauge of the wire, and her site no
longer exists for me to check that gauge. Does anyone remember what was
I am not sure if she sold 1 or more gauges of wire. But any standard
Brown Sharp or American Standard wire gauge can determine what you have.
Some husbands have one in their tool kit. Or they can be purchased at most
home improvement stores -Lowes, Home Depot, or other tool markets.

Most recipes that call for melted butter -- and quite a lot
of recipes that call for butter that isn't melted -- do just

I have a tatting pattern that calls for the shoelace trick, but I have never
heard of this, and would like to make the pattern, Can anyone tell me what the
shoelace trick is and how it is worked?
