I would like to ask for some help regarding thread size and pricking size for Torchon lace and/or Guipure style lace (Cluny perhaps).
Can anyone tell me the wpc of Lizbeth sizes 10, 20 and 40 and the grid sizes I would need to use for each of them. The information is easily found in the Threads for Lace bible BUT I put it in a âsafeâ place a year ago, when I packed all my lace books prior to moving and now cannot find it! I did not pack it with my lace books because I use it more than any of my other lace books. Whereas I could survive without all my others, I though I should leave Threads for Lace out, but I have been looking for it for more than a week now. In nearly a year of having moved, my lace, miniatures and embroidery stuff is still totally disorganised, with some of them still packed away and in storage, where they will have to stay until my daughter leaves home after getting married next October. Then I will have the luxury of a second(!) room dedicated to my hobbies.....admittedly, they are really tiny rooms ð I would like to design some lace for my outfit for her wedding and need to get going on it. Perhaps someone could also be so good as to point me in the right direction to finding a basic pattern for a hat that I can then adapt to my preferred style. What I would like is one that has a rounded crown to âmouldâ on the head with a flat brim, sun hat style and I would like to work it in something like half stitch, perhaps with some linen/whole stitch for stability. Another question. Would it be better to use a sinnamay base for this? Iâd be grateful for any help. Thanks, Karen in Malta. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.
