Pin Box - Richard Gravestock

If you make lace you use pins.  You use a lot of pins.  I have got through boxes and boxes of them over the years.  However, grabing a pin as you make your lace requires some decisions - do you use a pin cusion or a pin box.  

When working on a large project such as the Biggins mat that I am currently doing, you just can't keep up with the number of pins you need and spending time moving pins from a box to a pin cushion can take up precious lace time.

Shortly after starting to make lace I attended a lace day at Carshalton where, as a birthday present, my parents bought me a pin box by Richard Gravestock.  The box is made from a single piece of English Yew and the touch of it has just got better over the years.  Cork based so that it doesn't slip it has a hollowed out centre that lets you grab the pins easily.
