Anyone got any idea what this is and how it's used? The seller doesn't know,
but says he/she's been told it's a lace making needle, and the
instructions are in Greek.

It's hard to tell because the picture is a little dark, but I'm sure it's a
punch needle, probably for rugs (smaller versions are made for Russian
punch embroidery).

The only thing it reminds me of are the tools used for making either rugs, on
this scale, or on a small scale for doing a fine, velvet like embroidery.
But the photo isn't very good and it's hard to see if there is a

Dear Lace friends,
I think Age is creeping up on me :-) , I now find that I need to do some
specific exercises for neck and shoulders every so often during lace making.
I have been doing the neck roll and circular shoulder motions, but I wonder
if there are some more effective ones I could do ?

Hello Jean hello All,
There was not only that book there was a seperate booklet with the prickings
with the title 7 Klöppelbriefe. The Klöppelverband made this because the

Hi Jean -
As with lots of things on ebay, the seller got it wrong.
I believe that this is a device used for needle-punch rugs.
The screw device on the business end allows the user to
adjust the depth of the plunge through the canvas, which
controls the depth of the pile of the rug.

The best you can do to prevent neck and shoulder pain is sitting in the

Your shoulders always have to be relaxed, so not pulled up.

Hello everyone,
Thought you all might be interested in this article about lacemaking (or
not) in India. The link was sent to me by a friend here in Massachusetts,
who is originally from India. She, along with her young daughter, has
learned to make lace. Here is the link:
I have just updated my web page (link at the foot of this message)
to include my completed Russian tape lace lacemaker, and a
photo of the painting of the lacemaker I wrote about a couple of
days ago.
I look forward to hearing what you think of the painting.
