blocking filet work made from old thread


DrO

Question

even though i literally have done crochet work since 1949 :scrachin i am having difficulty working with two boxes of antique crochet thread (50) i bought from an antique dealer. keeping the filet spaces exactly the same size while working, keeping the thread from twisting, and blocking the work (with even spaces, perpendicular sides, etc.) is a nightmare.

are you working it straight off the antique ball? if so you may need to relax the thread and re roll it to stop the twisting.(relax it by lightly winding it around a chairback or picture frame at leat 18 inches across)
