Thanks for the link, Clay. I read it and then visited http://www.powerofhandsfoundation.co.uk/ where I noticed that a lace design #7 is 13.00 GBP by the metre. It takes about 12 to 14 pairs and would be quick to make though let's hope not monotonous. I think that is a reasonable price, if it is a fair wage for the Sri Lankan lacemakers, and if they aren't experiencing repetitive-stress if having to make metres and metres to order.
