I've used these for some years. To give some body to the lace I use a
firmer thread for the weavers- Guttermann,DMC etc. If you are running
out of thread, send a metre to De Havilland, if a varigated one, and
this will be dyed to match. A lovely lady who will do lace days and we

Dear Margot,
I've tried that and it didn't work for me.
What I've made are like giant safety pins - 2 from each plastic
coated coat hanger cut in half. Each of these will hold about 32
bobbins, but we are talking close to 400 bobbins here.
I did try that method where I threaded a hundred or
For working with so many bobbins in one pattern I was just thinking if
any of you have used a cloth book, for holding your many bobbins. The bigger
the cloth book the more it holds. I been thinking about putting a bottom to
each page, so all I have to do is lay them in(in order) close the page and
I've been told that one of the things that separates *really* good
lacemakers from *merely* good lacemakers is their ability to manage huge
numbers of bobbins. And to a small extent, this can't be learned from a
book or from a set of rules... every piece which requires hundreds of
bobbins
This is a good idea for a given amount of a lot of bobbins. The pattern I
was working on with 140 continental pairs, I shifted groups out of the way
in layers, first placed a group on a stick (the stick with an elastic
threaded end to end), then the stick on a work cloth, and stacked them

Hi all.

to participate in an Italian lace group, where we have just been taught to
make a braid with a kind of spiders in it, which they call salive. It
happens to be exactly the same thing I have seen in Bridget Cook's
Could be invented, or lace specific. As Adele did, I googled. I searched
'Sukane Slince' which is the title of one of the laces in the Cook/Tratnik
book of Idrija Lace.
I went to a page offering lace instruction in Slovenia, and tried the google
translation, but am none the wiser, except that
