Hello All! After looking in Arachne Archives & consulting Google without results, I thought I would ask: how would I know what size brass pins I own? There was a reference to Adele's measuring system on a 2006 Tonder post, but I didn't find a follow up. After Devon's pin question, I dug out the ones that I got from a friend who used to live in England. They are not marked & are a skosh over 1" long but don't seem fine enough to be 29mm. My reason for asking--is there a photo index that may be used for comparison like there is for embroidery needles? My needle index allows the user to place the anonymous needle on photos & find the size. I'm will to donate the pins if they fit the bill. On Sat. 10/26, Susan Elliott posted about her trip to the Hebrides, including a short video showing women singing a gaelic (??) song as they worked the wool cloth to soften it. Very interesting & wasn't there a discussion of lacemaking songs earlier this year? Sincerely, Susan Hottl! e, Erie, PA USA
