Hello all For those who don't yet know me from the Yahoo groups, I refer to my website.
About 20 years ago I only had lace-making books and didn't know other lacemakers, nor lacemaking-suppliers. So I didn't even know how to get white thread thin enough for the patterns form Elsie Luxtons books. So I experimented with unraveling various types of cloth. Some thread apeared not to be twisted at all and thus too weak, others were too elastic, so my bobbins jumped all over my pilow. Taffeta (tafzijde in Dutch) appeared to be the most succesful, but I didn't like the material for this type of lace. To slippery and too eager for the inside curves. How does Piper silk behave or can it be made more sticky somehow?
