Re: [lace] A Sorrel Leaf orts
An ort is a bit of thread left over from a project. That little bit left on the needle or bobbin or I work in a pre-school (for ages 3-5yrs) and I save my ' orts' in an old sweet jar to be used by the children for their collage work with lots of glue they get used for hair, clouds etc. I have even got the ladies from my lace class saving them and I go home each week with a small bundle of threads in my bag. I quite often think the jar is getting full but when I push the threads down find it's only half full :)) Celia Mulhearn Plumstead - SE London UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] A Sorrel Leaf orts
Thank you Patty, and to Susan who replied to me privately. I had not heard the term until now! I call them 'thread ends' those bits of left over thread :) On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 5:53 PM, Patricia Dowden pat...@netwiz.net wrote: Dear Bev, An ort is a bit of thread left over from a project.
