RE: [lace] A lace fence
Apologies: my email sent on Friday seems to have arrived without its text! I'll try again. Here goes - Those within reach of London might like to know that a panel of Jeroen Verhoeven's Lace Fence is currently on display at the VA in a (free) exhibition The Power of Making. A very modern take on the idea of craft. A few other items of textile interest include a pair of crochet lace knickers from a cooperative in Poland (also discussed on Arachne a while back). The exhibition is on until 2 January.

[lace] SIlk threads from Switzerland
This morning I received a surprise packet in the post - four reels of thread plus colour charts from Zürcher-Stalder in Kerchberg,Switzerland for inclusion in Addendum5 (and any future editions of Threads for Lace which is a long, long way into the future!). Mercerised cotton 20/2 - 2S-22 w/cm Mercerised cotton 12/2 - 2S-16 w/cm Schappe silk 120/2x4 - 2S/4Z-20 w/cm Tussah silk 20/2 - 2S-10 w/cm I am pretty sure that the two silks are those used by Marianne Gessendöfer in her book of scarf patterns, and which have in the past proved quite elusive. The Zürcher-Stalder website is http://www.zsag.ch/index.htm Brenda in Allhallows - no connection to the company, just pleased to have received the thread samples. www.brendapaternoster.co.uk - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] UK Lace Guild magazine
Got my Lace Magazine today - the postage paid label which is on the plastic sleeve does not have any date as to when it was mailed, just that it was posted from Slough. Malvary in Ottawa where we have above average temperatures for the next couple of days and it is absolutely gorgeous outside. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
