Nope - mine stay in real cork too. In fact my best pricker has lasted in it's cork from Australia, 16+ years in the low humidity of Colorado, and is still in the same cork in WA.
But if memory serves me right - it's in a champagne cork, not a wine one. It's real, dinky di cork, not the plastic cork you sometimes get now in wine bottles. My Condolences to Margaret Tite's family too. I didn't ever meet her, but I have 1 or 2 of her books, and they contain lovely patterns. She'll be missed by her family and many lacemakers I'm sure. Cheers, Helen in sunny Duvall, WA. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
