Yes Shirley T. and David, I remember the shop called The Lacemaker very well!! Goodness! It was about the only place you could get lacemaking supplies. It was very sad when it closed.
Before that, though, I used to buy cones of linen thread at a little shop in the city where they kept it on a top shelf â and a very old man used to climb up a ladder to get it, - and we were always so afraid he would fall!!!!! I still have a couple of cones of it left â but in the finer threads â 100 and 120 I think. Hmm! I Must get it out and use it up!!! I believe it is Brockens thread. Then I discovered that Lace could be made with a cotton thread â and The Lacemaker opened, - and as that was Much nearer to my home, I always shopped there till it closed. Now we rely on suppliers who come to Guild Lace Days. Regards from Liz. In Melbourne, Oz. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
