Looking at Jenny and Venicone's pictures (very nice too!) I was wondering about needles. I remember seeing bone or ivory needles in a museum, don't recall if they were Roman or not, but they did seem quite thick. I imagine they would be okay for wool but it seems one would need to need a much finer implement to work with more delicate fabrics like silk and muslin.<br>
Does anybody know anything about needles, what they were made of etc also the sorts of thread that would have been used?<br>
