[lace] Thread Sizes & Elsie Gubser

2018-04-02 Thread Adele Shaak
I have a copy of Elsie Gubser’s “Bobbin Lace” - where she explains that Brussels Lace must be made with very fine thread and that for her sample she had used Knox’s 150/2 lace thread, which "will have to do until finer thread is on the market.” Well, Mrs. Gubser - we’re still waiting!
