Thank you for all your thoughts and ideas about dating spangling. I will
try and put it all together sometime and see if it will fit into my
hypothesis (I think it will)
Another question I would like to ask you is
"When did the double head (Thistle head) get adopted by the East Midland
lace makers?"
No, I have not written an article about this as my twisted mind has only
raised this within me since a bobbin friend sent me more that few pictures
of bobbins that look clearly English (East Midland I should say) but had
single heads.
To all intents and purposes, only the Northern France (Bayeux and Normandy)
bobbins have double heads and only East Midland bobbins in the UK developed
the thistle head.
PS I am using thistle head and double head interchangeably. Formally I use
double head ( al la Springett) but I rather like thistle head personally)
