Hello there. Today I’d like to share a few lines about Pins for lace: why stainless saves your work, something that has been going round in my head for weeks.
A good pillow lasts a lifetime. It’s not an expense — it’s an investment If you fancy, I’ll leave Beeswax for lace.
Store thread dry, away from sun. If it has gone yellow, there’s no coming back.
What matters¶
- Always stainless.
- Medium round head general.
- Coloured head for key points.
- Extra-fine for fine lace.
How to choose¶
- Buy large quantities.
- Reject too thin.
- Reject too long.
How to care for it¶
- Dry before storing.
- Replace bent ones.
If you can’t find it, this works¶
Here is what matters, without going on too long.
