Devon, isn't there a email address of Barbara Diesing? If so write to her, she is selling her threads. If not write to me and I look through all my addresses. I'll see Barbara not before our congress next year. Ilske Am 11.10.2013 um 16:06 schrieb dmt11h...@aol.com: I have a folder of

Hello Devon and everyone A guess based on the linen section of Brenda's T4L that Londonderry Nm 50/3 Nel 80/3 would work for you. The other is a colour with the intriguing name Blue Bayou. On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 7:06 AM, dmt11h...@aol.com wrote: I have a folder of patterns called Filigrane

Hello everyone For bobbin lace jewellery of metallic thread that touches the skin (bracelet, necklace) I would welcome any tips to prevent or reduce scratching on the skin. A couple of us were discussing, thought silicon hand cream might help - on the skin anyway. Could the thread be coated with

I followed Ilske's advice and I googled Barbara Diesing. I found her website and on it, there is a catalogue that you may download, dated 2009. http://www.klöppel-stube.de/_downloads/kloeppelstube_katalog10.pdf She has some very pretty hand colored linens, including the interestingly named

Although it may lose a little of the lacey effect, you could mount the piece to a thin strip of ultra suede to keep it off of the skin.  There are many pretty colors, including a nude/skin tone.   Laura New Mexico, USA From: Bev Walker walker.b...@gmail.com To:

That sounds very likely to be the linen thread suggested. Londonderry is the American brand name for Goldschild linen which is produced in Austria. Brenda On 11 Oct 2013, at 17:49, Bev Walker wrote: A guess based on the linen section of Brenda's T4L that Londonderry Nm 50/3 Nel 80/3 would

Bev, all those metallic jewellery I worked didn't scratch the skin. Important is to work properly the endings and try to make them smooth with sandpaper or put a bit of uncolored varnish on them. Good luck Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line:

I have a glass pendant, but the metal hanger at the top of it always made a sore patch as it is rough and cheapish metal too. I just carefully painted the back of it with clear acrylic nail polish. It doesn't show, and it is certainly much more comfortable to wear. Perhaps the careful use

I have very sensitive skin and find that metallic threads itch and scratch. The only comfortable one that I've found is Bijoux Metallics (don't use Accentuate, as it is too stretchy for bobbin lace). Bijoux only comes in muted colours but makes very good lace Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com

Hi Bev: Somebody has already mentioned backing it - but I'm thinking you might not need to back the whole thing - maybe if there are some opaque areas of cloth stitch you could back just those, with the idea that the backing will hold the rest of the piece away from the skin. Glue on a bit of
