The Lacemaker's Home Page

Welcome to Arachne's Web Server

Arachne's Web Server is dedicated to the lacemaker's art. Due to personal bias, the contents will tend to lean heavily towards 16th and early 17 century laces, and lacemaking in the SCA.

I've started with a few files I have lying around - postings I have written in response to questions on rec.org.sca, and lecture notes I've written for various classes. If you have files you would like to make available here, please (please!) send me email.

Arachne's Web Server is not associated with SCA guild of Arachne's Web.

Notes From the Webmistress (Imagine an image of a cute little spiderweb here.)

What's New...

I finally found out what was going on with strange people demanding refunds to their credit cards. (I'm not a merchant and was very puzzled by this). Here's the story.

The lacemaking suppliers pages have been upgraded. As of now it is searchable by type of lace, category of stuff (books, tools, materials, etc) and country. Check it out!

There is an active community of lacemakers on the net communicating via email on the lacemaker's mailing list. Sign up and join the fun.

Lace Files

Here is a random assortment of files I've written and made available. As I write/format files, I'm adding them here. When the list gets long enough to need further breaking down I'll rearrange things.
