[lace] Book enquiry
Hi Spiders I'm after a book which is no longer in print and my Guild library does not have a copy of it. Does anyone out there know where I can find a copy of it. The book is 'Fascinating Lace' by Claire Burkhard 1986. ISNB is 9783258036106. I've already done a Google search. I want to read the book not necessarily purchase it. If it is in a library, that could be a help, depending on the location, I may be able to visit said library and read it there. Thank you in advance Anna in a hot and sunny Sydney - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Sari silk yarn question
Dear Friends. > Salt sets dyes too, but I prefer to use vinegar. The rule of thumb I was taught as a child was that vinegar was for animal fibers (silk and wool), while salt was for plant ones (cotton and linen) While it's been many years since I did any dying, when I did (and it was always homespun wool) I used Alum as a mordant with good effect - certainly much better than salt. I haven't heard it mentioned here yet, but I think if it's OK on wool it's probably OK on silk as well.
