[lace] CottonThread

2017-02-12 Thread Bespokethreadsandyarns
I am also intrugued by the tread. When I handspin cotton for thread, it is 
finished as a skein because I am guessing cotton as many threads were sold by 
unit weight. 840 yards in a hank of cotton.  So could be 1/4 hank lengths. I 
have seen antique thread skein bobbin winding stations. 
As far as why linen like? Cotton is often 'sized' in finishing process to add 
body. If it is not then the tiny cotton fibers wiggle from the twist and rub 
against each other. Gassing would also burn off the frizzies for smooth thread. 
I just size the cotton. Could also be when raw cotton is spun direct from boll, 
the cotton has a natural wax on the fibers. In the finishing it used to be that 
one must boil the cotton to remove wax, felt the fibers making it stronger, 
slightly bleach the cotton. 

I would be interested if people have documentation about the processing of 
antique cotton thread. If I had an example, I can do forensic spinning to 
figure how it was spun and finished in the first place.

When non fiber artists ask about cost of a handmade item and I quote how many 
hours of work go into it, I too hear them balk at the cost. I throw it back on 
them and ask how much they feel they should be paid for X amount of hours of 
work. Usually gets them to think how much their time is worth and thus an

Re: [lace] Multi-part prickings tricky; skeins also tricky

2015-11-04 Thread Bespokethreadsandyarns
For very fine yarns such as used in bobbin lace, umbrella swifts are not the 
best. Towards the end of ending off, the skein may drop leaving a tangled mess. 
Instead a skein winder (not a ball winder) such as used on charkas work well.  
I use that type for silks, fine cottons and linens.

Re: [lace] Equivalence of Superior Threads' Kimono Silk

2015-10-28 Thread Bespokethreadsandyarns
When we do counts for silk we use yards per pound. Silk, Cotton, man made
fibers all have a fixed count of 840.

Denier gives grist or thickness of thread which is what you ( Brenda) use.
However for weaving yards per pound ypp is used to describe yarns.

Was finding a measurement she could use based on what she knew about the yarn
to find an equivalent.

Re: [lace] idrija thread

2015-08-20 Thread Bespokethreadsandyarns
I think we are comparing two different things. Z plied thread will keep more of 
its twist while working than an S plied thread. Twist motion is z twist so z 
plied threads will not loosen while being made into lace. S plied threads will 
lose their ply twist ergo 'soften' while making lace. Sometimes though you want 
threads to soften. Early lace was made with less ply twist on purpose. So, in 
my opinion, if a tradition calls for a certain type of ply twist, it did so on 
purpose.

 Coats make (made?) Cipke Mojka Sukanac za Klekljanje Idrija (Translates to

 This is a 3ply thread with an S twist.  I’ve seen sizes 25 = 23 w/cm, 30 = 24 
 w/cm and 40 = 28 w/cm.
 
 Both of those threads will be ‘softer’ than DMC 80 ‘tatting’, actually DMC 
 Cordonnet Special 80 or DMC Special Dentelles 80, because that is a 6 ply 
 thread, the 2S/3Z means that although it looks superficially like a 3 ply 
 thread each of those plies is already a 2ply strand, and comparing the w/cm 
 is less straightforward because the 2S/3Z threads keep their round shape a 
 lot more when being wrapped (or turned into lace) than a 3ply thread does.  
 In practice that means that the 3 ply spreads a bit more giving a lower w/cm 
 measurement than the same amount of fibres in a 3ply yarn.  
 
 So, in theory the DMC 80/6 = Idrija 40/3, but DMC 80/6 = 30 w/cm and Idrija 
 40/3 = 28 w/cm.
 
 Whatever brand of Idrija cotton No30 you have I would expect it to be 
 slightly thicker rather than slightly finer.  Remember too that 3 ply thread 
 works up softer than anything which is 2S/3Z.
 
 Brenda
 
 
 I just purchased some Idrija thread.  The white spool says No 30 on it.  I
 also obtained some colors and they also say No 30.  What would be the wraps
 for that?  Anyone know?  and I also purchased some metallic Idrija thread. 
 Any idea what the wraps are for it?  I have checked out Brenda's book and it
 mentions no 60 at 25 wraps.  Just looking at it makes me think DMC 80 tatting
 thread or a bit finer than that.

 Hello All!  At the 2014 IOLI convention in Sacramento, I attended Lauran
 Sundin's wire lace class.  One of the techniques she demonstrated in class
 involved twisting wires together to make heavier cable.  She used a
 cordless drill at low speed.  Today I wanted to combine two strands of 28 
 two strands of 30 gauge wire to create a cable/gimp.  The last time I used
 a power drill, the torque caused a spiral fracture to my ring finger.  To
 avoid another trip to the emergency room, my husband suggested a Dremel
 drill because it has variable speed control.  Unfortunately none of the
 Dremel attachments allowed me to connect my wire to the drill.  That's when
 I remembered my Spinster!  This is a low-tech tool that many embroiderers
 use to make twisted cording for a finished edge.  Using a doubled length of
 each wire, I attached the wire loop ends to the Spinster hook.  My husband
 twisted together the four free ends  held them with a pair of flat blade
 jewelry pliers while I reeled!
  under tension.  The resulting cable is quite lovely for my first effort
  I will use this method again.  The Spinster was easy to use/control 
 adequate for my 28/30 gauge wire but does require an extra pair of hands.
 Hope this is helpful to others who are working with wire.  If someone else
 posted this info, sorry for the rerun.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA

 When flax is prepared to make linen thread it gores through a process
 called
 retting. Traditionally flax stems are allowed to start rotting in order to
 free the fibres either by leaving the cut stems outside so that dew forms
 on
 them or by leaving them in water. One of these processes results in grey
 fibres, the other ecru. So the colour of the unbleached linen is the result
 of
 the retting process used and also the weather at the time and the time that
 has been allowed for the process. Being a natural product the colour will
 depend on the growing season and how the retting process in managed and
 will
 vary from year to year.

 The general purpose of adding material over the foam, as I understand it, is
 to make the pillow last longer. Most of the domed polystyrene pillows I've

 type of felt you buy in squares for craft work, rather than the thick carpet
 underlay type. The cover also helps reduce the noise of working on
 polystyrene, but I'm not sure if ethafoam is as noisy to work on.
 The more layers you use, the greater the amount of fabric you will need to
 buy, and probably the finer fabrics are going to be more expensive, so think
 about whether cost is an issue.
 The only other comment I would make about using wool is that as a fibre, wool
 holds moisture, which is useful for warmth in clothing but could cause
 corrosion if you use steel pins, live in a damp climate and don't finish
 projects reasonably quickly!
