Yes, to your first idea, one worker over, one under - which gives what I
call a wrapped effect, or more correctly is twined, especially if you go
around each pair in this manner - but yes you can go one over one under

Weave through the pairs closest to
the picot and wrap the weavers only, on the bulk of the threads where you
have a whole lot of them at the headside.
Hadn't thought of that - sounds like a great time saver too. I'd been
weaving all the way. Now could you please just explain in a little

David,
Could humidity or the lack thereof be an issue? I have had more problems with thread
breakage when I lived in more arid environments and would use a plant mister to
periodically spray my threads. My lace is very happy now that I've moved to a much

trying the latter, that might help prevent breaking of threads. I read in
