The right light for lacemaking: protect your eyes

By · · ~1 min

Sometimes I think there is more to The right light for lacemaking: protect your eyes than it seems. That’s why I sat down to write it out slowly.

Clean and store. Whatever you don’t use, put it away. Loose tools break on their own If you fancy, I’ll leave The bobbin holder.

Good tools last decades. Better one good purchase every five years than three bad ones.

What matters

  • LED lamp at 4000 K (neutral white).
  • Articulated arm for angle change.
  • Diffuser to avoid glare.
  • Ideally, reinforced with side daylight.

How to choose

  • LED doesn’t heat and uses little energy.
  • 4000 K is closest to daylight.
  • Articulation lets you adjust by work type.

How to care for it

  • Clean the diffuser monthly.
  • Replace lamps with visible flicker.

If you can’t find it, this works

Here is what matters, without going on too long.

Nothing more for today. The folks at Encaixe have courses and materials; whenever you fancy going in-person, they’ll treat you well.
