Hallo to all,
horsehair is my DADA,
my thing of intrest
if you want to clean horsehair
you will use of course kerosine
it is the fuel of arirplains
not so easy to get at but it is that what we use
for affimageoil = you could say the same as cremeshompoo for hair
it gives a second third or more yought to the hair
and it is not damaging for any natural fibres
after a good dry it evens completly vannish in thin air
you will probably say he is crazy ..... but i can assure you it does the
work in 2 steps
it gives again a certain souplesse tot the hair and works as a
rejouvinating aspeckt
(if only i could use it on myself.....)
and it also rinise the filth dirt of it
the only SMAL problem you ca have is when you have coloured materials in
the work
then the colours can depending on the kind o pigments used begin running
any direction
but until now i have never seen a hair work in differend colurs cotton
silk or what ever throuh it
mostly in hair works the natural colour of the hair is what works best
of all
Also if you have problems working bobbinlace in horsehair because it is
to rigid
add some drops on the bobins and the hairs
you will be astonished by the result of easyer working conditions
the smell.... well you have to think you are ready to fly.......

What lovely snippets turnup here!
Reading about the fate of washed horsehair n lace reminded me of the helpful
hints for washing lace in Therese de Dillmonts Encyclopaedia of Needlework
first pub. 1886? but dont know if the hints were added or modified later. She
recommends that soiled lace be soaked overnight in olive oil to remove grime
and restore suppleness - then boil in a pan of water with pure soap until
clean, rinse in water and dry still wrapped around the bottle to retain shape
and prevent shrinking.
So perhaps , if horsehair was incorporated in the lace and it was soaked and
boiled like this the keratin would be denatured a bit and become kinked rather
like perming our own hair.
