The instructions are at: http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/lace/misc/misc.htm but the photo does really need re-doing as it's not very sharp. Brenda > In a knitting magazine I bought last week there's an item on wool stashes. It > gives the wraps per inch of the different plies of wool so you can identify > whether you have double knitting wool or 4-ply equivalent or whatever. They > show a couple of wooden gauges for winding the wool round and one looks very > much like a turned thick lace bobbin with the gauge part (the neck) exactly > an inch long. They call it an inch gauge/Wrap per inch tool. The web link to > it doesn't come up with what it should and I haven't found it by googling. > > I thought a lace bobbin which isn't used much, which has a neck exactly 1 > inch long (unlikely to be as short as 1 cm), especially if it's a bit thick > could be used as a gauge for lace threads with the aid of Brenda's threads > book. > Brenda in Allhallows www.brendapaternoster.co.uk - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
