Your story of linen spinners sounds terribly familiar - I learned to spin
because I wanted to create the devastatingly fine wool yarn for a "proper"
wedding ring shawl, and it is equally difficult to get wool spun that

I'm not in a good position to search the archives, has anyone done a review
of this book:
Lace: Greek Threadwork by Tatiana Ioannou-yannara

I think I last got architect linen (or the equivelant marketed to lace
makers) from Teh Lacemaker, so not much help there. I imagine Lacis might
carry it, but I haven't looked. Personally, I just use a piece of file

Pennsic War, for those who know of it) where I taught a beginner 16th c.
