Benton & Johnson! Yes, that was it. I couldn’t find them on the web any more - thanks for the info that I should be looking for Toye, Kenning & Spencer. Not that I want anything, but I do like to keep up with who the suppliers are and where I can find them.

Gil Dye has instructions for working this frogging in ‘Surface Decoration in Silk and Metallic Threads’, Book 3 of her Sixteenth & Seventeenth Century Lace series. It’s a copy of what are called 'silver gilt lace leaves’ in the Hardwick Hall records.

Hi Adele, I don't know if they are in London, but Benton & Johnson carry bullion, gold passing, etc. Are they who you were remembering?

Re: [lace] Fwd: Lace Magazine #169
I just got my “Lace” magazine - does anybody know this frogging technique? Was it traditionally made using ribbon or a metal strip? The picture looks to me like a thin strip of gold-coloured metal, rather than ribbon, but I haven’t heard of the technique before and I don’t know for sure. Back when I was doing embroidery, I recall there was a place in London where they sold real gold threads and purls, etc, for use in uniforms. Does anybody know if that company is still running - or better still, what its name is?

[lace] Fwd: Lace Magazine #169
I just saw the messages about not having received any since January 26. I sent the message below on January 30 and wondered why no one had commented. I dug through my Sent boxes and found Iâd sent from the wrong email address, not the one I joined Arachne with. Operator error.
