Dear Lacemaker
Thank you for inquiring about our lace making and needle art supplies. We continue to strive to design

Many items are handmade by regional artists and crafts people, allowing for special considerations in
size, design, color and fabric.
This is only a sampling of our product line. Stock is constantly changing, so if you don’t see it - ask! If
we don’t already have it in stock we’ll be happy to see if it can be made or found.
Above and beyond the necessities, we carry a wide selection of related Gift Items (mugs, magnets,
jewelry, Italian charms chatelaine pieces, tins...featuring sheep, spiders, lace and lace makers), Books
(tatting, knitting, thread and bead crochet, bobbin lace, beadwork, braiding, basketry, felting and so much
more! ) and Hedgehogabilia! We also offer a used book search service for those out-of-print titles.

of a flat cookie pillow. The third insert has a 6” wool roller with turned finials and gear-and-brake design of our
“Rie”. The 6” revolving outer apron makes for an overall diameter of 24”. Of ply and hard woods, the apron and
cookie inserts are of polyethylene foam and wool felt. Cotton twill covering and embroidered ribbon trim completes
