Can anyone put this seller (and me) our of their misery. This item has been
relisted with exactly the same description as when it didn't sell.
As usual, something unidentifiable has been described as believed to be an
old-fashioned lacemaking bobbin. I canlt imagine a use for it for

Hi Spiders,
Yet another bit to confuse anyone making garters!
I have made several garters, for my daughter, my daughter-in-law, the
latter's soon to be sister-in-law, and several daughters of friends, and
they have been made increasingly longer!I must add that, after making

Not sure if we've seen this one before, but it's certainly interesting.

Thank you, Janice! I love the Celtic Thistle. We do period camps
(1750's-1820's) the thistle is on lots of my belongings. I'll be so proud
to wear this lace.
Your designs are so beautiful unique.

Laugh,
My first impression was that it is the handle of a child's toy. Reversed it
might have had a 'cup' inserted into the end hold and a 'string with a ball'
tied in the other end. You 'toss the ball up and try to catch it in the
cup'.
It sure would not be good as a bobbin

Hello everybody,
I am wondering why you are discussing to work the patterns in Le Pompe
with wire. As far as I know they didn't work the gold laces in former
time with the wire some of us, I too, use today. I must add I don't
know these patterns I don't have the book and I don't know what sort
Some of the interest in the Le Pompe patterns is being spurred by the desire
to use wire in lace making. Some wire is very beautiful, it works up nicely,
doesn't unravel and there is a general feeling that lace was originally made
in wire of precious metal, but it has not survived. In

I'd call that a lock stitch, not a false plait. Just another
lacemaking technique that has more than one name.

The item is approx 5 long, however responses have been interesting. The
general feeling is that it is not for lace making, so this leaves me at a
loss at to what exactly it is.
