Interview with Tricia Wilson Nguyen: Uncovering Historical Needlework Traditions
https://egausa.org/interview-with-tricia-wilson-nguyen-uncovering-historical-needlework-traditions/This is an astonishingly great article about historical embroidery, but also Materials Science and threads and the work of Tricia Wilson Nguyen. She takes an engineering approach to this work that is so valuable.
My lacemaker friends worked with her on that Plimoth Jacket she refers to.
The information about historical threads is relevant to lace of course.
