Dear Steph
Assuing your friend simply needs a full-sized circular
needle - a 100cm one more than takes enough for a 45"
square shawl, and far more than can be crammed safely
or not on a set of 5 16" wires (personal experience!).
However, she may find a tip of E Zimmermann's useful:

Dear Devon
I suspect the original table you were recalling was in
Pat Earnshaw's "Bobbin & Needle Laces - Identification
and Care", which tabulates this for various laces, and
includes the figure of 10,000, though not for gros
point. Her figures are based on averaging counts in
1/8 inch squares,
Well, my first lace 'friend' who started making lace with me 17 years ago
went to Bruges in October as a birthday treat. We first went there together
in 1990 on a lace outing. For Christmas she gave me a candle from the
t'Apostelientje - my favourite shop - it has a picture of a lacemaker on the

An aficot was used in needle lace in the "finishing"
process. To my knowledge there were a couple of types
used. The horn aficot would have been used to "polish" the
threads of the rolled cordonnets. Metal aficots looked like
large nails with rounded heads, but with a blunt end, no
point. They
When I design with wire, I am using either a single strand of 30/31, or a
double strand of 32, or a triple strand of 33/34. I have found that the 28 and
larger wires can be too thick and cumbersome for the fine lace jewelry I have
created.
You can see some of my work on my website.

I had a long lace wish list and was mildly (but
happily!) satisfied with what I got. I got Brenda's
book Threads for Lace - my family was astounded that
it was REALLY what I wanted. I'm not sure what they
expected? From my DH, I got a pair of glass bobbins
with silver twisted foil inside and 4(!

My DH saw me drooling over a picture of the beautiful cherry wood pillow

of getting me jewelry for Christmas, but would I rather have the stand
instead? I said yes! Not that I don't like jewelry, but I had been wanting

I forgot to mention in my list that DH had ordered a copy of the Lace Guild
2005 calendar for me. The lace is from around the world and includes one from
