[lace] bobbin weight - thread size realtionship?
Hi Arachnes, I am have been playing around making some bobbins (using unconventional methods) and I am trying to determine a good weight. Are there any guidelines on weight of a bobbin as related to thread size, or weight for various types of bobbins â continental, square etc. I donât have that many kinds of bought bobbins, Lacis square â 2 grams (too light); Belgian (light wood- maple?) â 3 gr; Belgian (walnut) â 6 gr., Danish(?) 5 gr. thanks, Sharon (near Seattle, WA, where we have had some sun in the last week!) p.s. here is a picture of some of my bobbins http://www.lacemakers.org/meetings/april-2013 â the blue/variegated ones are 4 grams and the translucent/whitish ones are 5 grams. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Fw: [lace-chat]Knitting
When i typed this yesterday I meant to ask a question. After being a knitter on and off for almost 60 years I am now finding the wool is throwing off tiny fibres which are making me cough badly so I have had to resort to wearing a cotton headscarf round my nose and mouth to keep it out (what an image for a sunday morning, LOL) Has any other lacemaker/knitter out there found similar problems?This doesn't seem to be a problem with my lace when I am using natural cottons and silk threads only. At the moment its ok as the weather is currently cold enough for me to enjoy the benefits of being covered more and warmer but I am hoping we have some better in the coming weeks. One more reason to get this finished and back to my lacemaking I think, LOL. I am now beginning to really miss it and need to get back into some. As its less than a month this must be an addiction, :-) Sue T Dorset UK I also have been away from Lace making for some weeks now, after finishing making some coasters I got stuck into knitting a cardigan I promised my Mum who has just come out of hospital after almost 4 months. I am almost half way through it but had the urge to make some lace patterns so i can prepare some lace to take away with me on my travel pillow next month.

Re: [lace-chat]Knitting
Hi Sue years ago when my Mum was knitting mohair she had this problem. A solution she used was to put the yarn in the freezer for an hour before she knitted with it kept the 'fluff' stuck to the ball instead of the air! Might work for you Sue in East Yorkshire where it's still chilly and windy today On 28 Apr 2013, at 10:17, Sue wrote: When i typed this yesterday I meant to ask a question.
