I need a wooden adapter for lace bobbins which can be attached to the Swedish
weaving bobbin winder - anyone know where to buy them?

Hello all,
Just to let you know that the Lace and Textile Day is this Saturday at Clay

etc etc. There are two taster sessins in the aftern
I just checked the web and Thumbelina still carries Danish flower thread. This
is a store in Solvang, California, originally settled by Danes and a tourist
spot. The URL is

If you use plastic film to cover your prickings try to get hold of the non
reflective kind its easier on the eye when you are looking at it for long
periods.
If you can't get the non-reflective type just rub the other one over with a
metal scouring pad, it dull it sufficiently.

Hi Sue
Glad to hear that your arm is now better and you are back to your
lacemaking. Like you I'm looking forward to the lace day in Norwich on
Saturday, I shall be taking along the old bobbins that I was recently given
for Carol Morris to have a look at, her comments will be of great interest.

Hello Jenny and welcome
I think you have discovered by now there is a wealth of very experienced
lacemakers here to help you. They truly are amazing in the collective
knowledge they have so don't be afraid to to ask questions.
I only have one point to add

It is my understanding that the original Danish Flower Thread was produced
by the Danish Handcraft Guild. They didn't copyright the name "Danish Flower
Thread," and so other companies (DMC) started producing a similar product by
the same name. The original thread is still available, in many colors.
Hello Shirley
It is a pitty you are just a week too early. 16-20 March Breda has a Textile

Brugge, might be one or two hours by train.
Brussels is even closer:

Dear Bridget,
This may not be of a help to you as I'm in the US, but the shop I work
in one day a week (The World in Stitches) has Danish Flower Thread in a
limited palate and a limited quantity. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
find what colors and how much we have.
I was a very pleased customer a
I'm afraid they discontinued flower thread several years ago. In the UK
at any rate.

Hi to all fellow spiders,
Ref "pricking card discussion" when I first started to make lace we were
told that if you could not afford (or get hold of) proper pricking card, to
use any firm card covered with sticky plastic covering and if you could only
find the shiny type use a plastic pan scrub (th

Good to see that DMC are reviving an old idea.
I have some (very) old skeins of linen floss that I bought years ago from
someone who was having a turnout. They are labelled Knox's Linen Floss -
size 3. And yes, I have used them for lace, usually as gimps with a more
conventional linen thread.
Hi Jenny,
Welcome to Arachne, you've found like minded and *very* helpful
people. We all wish you good luck in your lacemaking endeavours.
