Dear Jo and Others, Jo has specified good quality fine woven smooth glass curtains. Please pay attention to quality and wear over time.
There is a fiber arts safety organization in the U.S. that determined years ago that Fiberglass (product name in the U.S.) filaments that can infiltrate your skin are dangerous, especially if dirty. Actually, some artists using Fiberglass yarns died of blood poisoning. Therefore, if you use this material whilst lacemaking, be aware of the danger, and visit a doctor immediately if you see any indication that small filaments have cut into your skin. In recent years, there has been an increase in artists using this material. Keep this warning in mind if you have yarns that contain Fiberglass. Be careful when laundering this material. If you'd like to know more, Google search "Fiberglass Safety". Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center In a message dated 4/8/2011 12:36:28 P.M.
