Hi,
I'd love to help, but don't know enough about any of the forms of lace to
write an article by my self. If anyone has collated any useful info but
doesn't have the time or inclination to write it up, I'll have a go over
the summer break.

While I was away this weekend I bought from a junk stall a delightful pink
satin corset. I don't know a lot about underwear and wonder if there is
anyone that could give me some ideas about date.
It is waist length (10 from the highest arch of the bust shape), the front
boned top to bottom.

I'm still baffled by threads -- and if the spool folks would devise a

happier. I've discovered that I successfully managed to mix threads

With Gimp thread spools, or Crochet Cotton spools, I use a bit of Sticky
tape, and stick the labels too the inside of the spool. I try to get the
number of the thread positioned so that I can read it!!
Other than that, I use a permanent marker and write the number on the spool,
or on a sliver

On black spools, I use a white gel pen to write the name/number on both the
outside and the inside of the spools. It takes patience, but it works.

Strange unless you've ever warped a loom. These look just like the
sleying hooks that came with the loom I inherited. The big one is
flat, because although it's designed for fairly large thread, it has
to pass through a hole in the heddle that is narrow side to side, as
may be the reed slots.

I agree - I, too, have just such tools for warping my loom.
