About Us -
Josco Lace Supplies

Hello and Welcome to Josco Lace Supplies.

My name is Joanne Scowcroft and I started this specialty lace supplies business in September 2005.

About the business -

Josco Lace Supplies started with the necessities for needle lace makers, but this quickly expanded to bobbin lace and other forms of lace making and fine embroidery.  I suspect the business expanded so quickly because of all the advice I received from a very diverse group of talented friends, including my original Tech friends. 
 

Josco Lace Supplies specialises in those hard-to-find things
such as specialist needle craft fabrics, threads and equipment.
 

We pride ourselves on fast and friendly service and we look forward to being of service to you.

About me - well, I am a lover of needle art and lace-making.  Like every lace maker or embroiderer, I need more hours in the day just so I can spend them stitching.  I have been interested in needle art and lace since I can remember, but I decided to get serious about 13 years ago and enrolled in an Advanced Needlecraft course at the Technical College.  This largely self-taught amateur wanted to know "how to do things properly".  And that was the start of wonderful adventures, lasting friendships and ever-expanding interests, all in needle art and lace making.  I still meet every month with the friends I made at Tech.

I am presently working on Thumbelina petit point pictures for my miniatures cabinet as well as some soft furnishings.  The Thumbelina table cloth in 14 count filet net is now finished and on display.  I also have some point ground bobbin lace on the go, as well as a piece of Youghal needle lace and Branscombe tape lace.  I also enjoy teaching needle lace including Limerick Needle Run Lace and Limerick Tambour Lace, as well as Filet Lace, Teneriffe and Knotted Lace.

The best thing about this business is having happy customers.  There are lots of also-best things, but one that comes to mind is that I do seldom run out of thread!
