While talking of coloured lace - a couple of years ago, I started a simple piece of Torchon and found I didn't have the right thickness in Perle for the gimp. I was going to double the Perle I had, when I thought why not wind single on two bobbins, and work the gimp a la Russian tape lace, with the workers going through a pair of gimps instead of the gimp being trapped down. The results were great, and I've always done my Torchon gimps that way since. The gimp really stands out. I've mentioned this before, just thought I'd add my pennysworth for new spiders.
