Hello all,
I have caught my mail at return of my annual holidays and I would like
to comment:
Tamara, Vera:
In Spain is known that poorest people, during 17th. and 18th.
centuries, used to make lace with pitta as it was less costly than
threads. I am not sure now, but I think that in Mares Museum Lace in
Arenys de Mar, is displayed some pitta lace. It looks rude, same colour
that old linen.
I hope this can help to know something more at this respect.
Greetings from Barcelona. Spain.
Carolina.

I got the following from Vera today. I did respond, but was less than
helpful, since I've never heard of "peat lace". I know that lace has
been made out of some less-traditional fibers and plants (like nettles),
but have never heard of thread being made from peat.
Perhaps someone on the list can throw some light onto this mystery?
I'm Vera Cockuyt, Belgian lacemaker and as I was doing some research
on the Internet on peat lace, I ran into your article.
