<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 33794, member: 44&quot;]I also think something to do with lace making. Batt seems to be what lace thread is called. Although no doubt any type of needlework threading is probably called batt or roving. All those small holes might have something to do with allll the many threads used in bobbin lace making. I really know nothing about lace making so don&#039;t know how this table would be used. Possibly the threads, batts, were stored up in this table with individual threads assigned each hole??? I have googled finding nothing quite like it. The bobbin lace makers&#039; pics all seem to be working with bobbins and a pillow. The following article talks about spinning lace thread calling it batt and or roving.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://fleeglesblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/spinning-for-lace-part-3-fiber.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fleeglesblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/spinning-for-lace-part-3-fiber.html" rel="nofollow">http://fleeglesblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/spinning-for-lace-part-3-fiber.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
