My lace life is very busy at the moment with several projects on the go at
the same time and here comes another one.
I have been making lace for a conceptual artist, and teaching her to make
lace as well, for several years now.
Neither of us make a lot of money at it but it is getting lace out
I have never used Fibre Optic cable for lacemaking, because as far as I know
it doesn't light up along it's length but only at its tip - so, for example,
you would only see the lights at the ends of the fringe of a bookmark. I'd
love to know that I am wrong, because I really fancy seeing lace
I am unaware of there being different thicknesses but what I do know from my
work in the telecoms industry is that you can only bend it a certain amount
before the glass core snaps so winding onto bobbins would be an absolute no
no.
I believe our engineers coil fibres no tighter than a 12cm
Kudos to Mary for offering such a book. At the outrages prices of book out
there it is a nice to see that a good home is the criteria for this book.

Hi, I've played with fibre optic bare cable for irish crochet. Most is
end-emitting but some transmission of light along the length occurs via
microbending. Modern f/o cable is plastic, not glass, so no breaking
problems. I bought a range of diff diameters from 1mm to 0.25mm thick.
