Jeri quotes Bodil Tornehave as having seen bones used for bobbins in a
Scottish museum. I have the greatest respect for Bodil but I and at least
one other arachne member scoured the Scottish museums for such an exhibit
or record of such an exhibit.
I am afraid that none of the curators knew of
I heard the 'bone lace' expression explained that fish-bones were used for
pins. Wish I had a reference, but it was years ago and I don't remember
where. Anyone else heard this one?
