Hello Ilske and everyone About the angle of Tønder laces, I have not seen an answer to your question. In the OIDFA Point Ground Lace study book, the angles given for pre-1900 Tønder laces are 56 to 60 degrees; after 1900 it is 57 degrees only. Does this help? Maybe someone else can add further i

Mary This pinboard has some photos. You will have to look at the descriptions under each photo. Maybe half dozen are Lepoglava. I think you mean Lepoglava, Croatian bobbin lace. https://www.pinterest.com/lynxlacelady/modern-part-lace/ This link will show you comments on laceioli regarding Lepoglav

Hi All, Am planning to teach lace to a Croatian born friend and wonder if there are any books available with references to Lepovka lace. Have seen the UNESCO Cultural clip (there is one on Alencon lace too), and remember reading a seried of articles, but they would not have helped in this situat

Hi Susan I’m fairly sure I’ve got that book somewhere but it’s not on the shelf I expected to find it! The logarithmic lace which I did a while ago was a combination of theory and winging it when it came to choosing the thread. Theory wise go for the mid-range, but err towards thicker rath

Hello All! Embarking on yet another lace adventure, I realized I needed to ask a thread question before diving in. Has anyone worked the Jane Atkinson edging on pg 3 of Lace Guild's "Logarithmic Lace" book? I'm curious how one selects a thread size for something like this because of the chang
