Re: [lace] Mother and twins bobbin
Hi All, I have some glass bobbins - well, quite a lot of glass bobbins, actually - made by Malcolm Fowler, and his are just lovely. He definitely makes mother and babe, and I am sure he makes twins as well, but he is always willing to 'make to order', so I am sure he'd oblige if he was contacted.

[lace] Threads query - thanks
Dear All I can't believe it's a week since I asked you all for suggestions about what thread I could use for my Beds lace. Apologies for not having emailed earlier, I just haven't stopped. But now I'm here, thank you all for your replies. I now know what thread I need to get. And thank you too, Brenda, for the bookmarks idea. I shall have loads of bobbins wound with a lot of thread when I cut off my latest attempt at Beds, and now I know what I can do with them. I hate wasting thread!

[lace] Twilley's Gold Dust
Is there a substitute for Twilley's Gold Dust that is easily accessible in the US? It looks like this can be purchased from the UK but it would take a while for it to get here. I have a box full of Kreinik Metallics - Balger Heavy Braid, Balger Fine Braid, Balger Very Fine Braid, Ombre. Would any of these be a substitute? The pattern I want to do calls for this Twilley's for 2 pair of passives. The other 2 pair of passives the workers will be DMC 8 Cotton Perle.

Re: [lace] Twilley's Gold Dust
Twilley's Gold Dust is available in my local embroidery shop here in IL. It is softer than Kreinik metallics, and fairly thick. At a guess thicker than DMC perle 8. Which thickness gold dust does the pattern call for?

[lace] Twilley's Gold Dust and a pattern
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], bevw [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes The Gold Dust should be available in the US, Gold Dust was replaced several years ago by Lincotex (?spelling) Gold Rush, which comes in two different thicknesses. If I remember correctly, Gold Dust was then only available in Gold and Silver, rather than the range of colours it used to be. Whether you can still get it is something I don't know. Gold Rush has/d a wide range of colours. Lately I've been working with Twilley's Goldfingering (more of a crochet yarn, and on larger balls because of that, but they have done a craft version of packs of three reels about the same size as the Gold Dust reel was) because it comes in some lovely multicoloured shades that look like beads on the pillow (it's amazing how many people think they are!). It is just a slight tad thicker, but in a pattern for perle 8 based on a 3mm graph paper (ie 6mm between footside pins) it works fine. I used it for the bracelets, Bev. Also, Bramwell Craft Yarn (Tatting Design had some last time I looked at their stand) is about the same thickness. It is another metallic chainette yarn. Texere's Glitter (not the fine one) is another alternative. They are based in Bradford, UK, and have a website. It is amazing the glittery threads you find sold for cardmaking - if you want fine ones, look at what they sell for Spirelli work! Most of these patterns want the glitter thread about the same thickness, or slightly thicker (not much) than the perle 8, rather than being a proper gimp effect. The metallics stand out on their own. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace]Glittery thread
Hello again I would like to add another crochet cotton to the list of Gold Rush etc. I have used a glittery crochet thread called Opera. It is slightly finer than Gold Rush, but works a treat. The five colours are red, blue, gold, silver and green. All are lovely and bright colours that resemble jewels.
