From the Author
'Is it cotton or linen?' is a commonly asked question when a piece of lace is examined for identification purposes. This is not idle curiosity: cotton could not be spun sufficiently smoothly or strongly for lace making until the beginning of the 19th century. The use of cotton therefore distinguishes a possibly antique lace from one no more than 100 years old. Thread can give considerable help in identifying a lace. Even oddities such as laces made of spider silk, pigs bristles, horsehair, human hair, aluminium, clinquant, pineapple, sweet pea or Solomon's Seal fibres are linked to specific times and places. The answers to this and many other puzzles are in this book.
