Does any cord! fill the bill? DH replaces his polypropylene boat-tying ropes every year, but if not required to keep a heavy boat fast in a high wind, rope would probably last much longer. I asked him, and he said he'd go with hemp or sisal if making a fence; the point of using polypropylene is that it floats.

RE: [lace] Lace Fence and other materials
At the Eden Project in Cornwall (UK) there's a fence made of rope which has been plaited, woven, arranged in a lace-like pattern. In my computer I have photos which I took there - how can I share them with the group?

Re: [lace] Lace Fence and other materials
Thank you so much, Robin, for reminding me of this. I should have remembered, since I was there, with Liberty Lacers, twice, taking a class and demonstrating at the same time. And then that summer I was in Bruges and saw the fence around the windmill there. But those are done with welding, at which I am not trained. On the other hand, a simple chain link fence is definitely Torchon ground, and should be able to be reproduced. And if so, why not any ground, with the standard patterns put in. Welding is out, as I have neither money nor knowledge to do it. What they did with the fence is intersperse heavy gauge wire, with the chain link, but not done in standard stitches, or at least not the stitches with which I am familiar. Surely for a domestic display, a piece of one's own chain link fence, or a bit of the deck fence, some sort of cord could be used, but what kind? Needs to be able to withstand the elements and the sun, and be able to keep its shape. Does any cord! fill the bill? Is there a wire that will work? The first that comes to mind is copper. Can any of you wire lacemakers help, or is there a book that already has the answers?
