Threads for Lace - Brenda Paternoster

Publisher : Self Published

Threads for Lace
Brenda Paternoster
Probably one of the most useful books on the market for lacemakers and fibre artists.

Threads for Lace by Brenda Paternoster helps you to find a thread to substitute in patterns.

Great when you don't want to have to buy a new spool and essential when the quoted thread is no longer manufactured.

What works well?

Brenda explains how to take unknown threads and yarns and count the wraps per inch (WPI) so that you can then find a substitute within the book.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

The book is now out of print.
Brenda has addendums for any of the previous version in her book on her website.

Hi Estelle, thanks for your interest in the book blog. This book is now out of print and very sought after. As such, it isn’t available from bookshops, Amazon or lace suppliers and rarely comes up second hand. It’s worth keeping an eye out on eBay or face book lace selling groups.

I'm the lace bee and these are my books

With currently over 300 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library. So here are some of my books.

You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types

I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
