Eve Hoffenkamp commented on Lorelei Halley's group Oya-Bebilla-Turkish-Armenian-Mediterranean knotted needlelace"I myself would use the polyester thread in about a size 50 or whatever size to get the results you want. Cotton is good but not the pearl cottons as they are too soft to hold the form well. Lizabeth thread in size 40 is…"

Welcome. Please read all the NOTES. They explain our policies, the laces we include, and how the software works. We do have a group for Mediterranean knotted lace, called OYA. You can join it, and any other groups that interest you. There is a long list of resources on the opening page of the OYA group. We also have 2 albums of photos. I look forward to seeing your efforts. If you have any questions, contact me and I'll try to help.
Also you might want to look at another online discussion group that I administer. It includes your other lace related interests.
