Ah, I see. I didn't think of those long skinny things as thorns. Thank you!

This reply may be too on topic. But to read Susan's reply below, with a

erm, I've lost the thread. Would cactus have been known to lacemakers?
I've also lost track of what thorns were mentioned as possibles for
pinning - maybe hawthorn was one of them. Climbing through such a bush
as a kid (in Canada) - the thorns 'bite' if you get stuck by one. I

If the early lacemakers lived in areas where cacti grew. Certainly not the

These ideas about using thorns and fish bones have been around for a long
time. Has anyone actually tried using thorns or fishbones to make lace? I mean
the very fine lace made at the time the thorns were supposed to have been
used. Did they work or not?
Regarding the type of
The point is well made. Pins have been around since the bronze age so
the question begs to be asked why use thorns, fish bones etc when you
have access to pins. Now since lace making as we know it came into being
around the 15th century (please correct me if I'm a bit early here), but

In reference to cactus thorns - or at least the ones I've run into in the

easily go in, but catch on the way back out. Some experiences have been
painful. So I highly doubt cactus thorns would have been used for
lacemaking.
