When I curated a lace exhibit in a museum about 25 years ago, many things were borrowed. One was a few prickings on a green leathery material from a retired elderly gentleman who, with his wife, had run a lace shop that did repairs in NYC (long closed) . The green was like DMC embroidery floss #367. (Have given DMC color numbers, because they are pretty much the same throughout the world.)
