    Bonnet Dicing

    I though that I had seen a thread on here about a source for bonnet dicing but I cant seem to find it. Does anyone know a source for this? Im looking for the red, white, and black dicing. Any help would be much appreciated.

    As far as I know, if you want the type of dicing(or tricing, it sounds like) found on your average balmoral, you'll have to pick up a pair of knitting needles.

    I've never heard of it being sold ready made.

    Robert Mackie sells Balmorals with this style of dicing. Not sure if they would sell you the raw materials, although I highly recommend their products. See Todd's review today of his new Bal.

    I'll second David's recommendation, and put a plug in for Redshank, who sells Mackie's wares:

    I have a source for it, but you'll need to buy a spool. PM for details

    If you are really stuck and can give me the details of the size of the rectangles and full description, width, colour order and so on, I could make some on one of my knitting machines - I have lots. The yarn would probably be acrylic, though. I used to be able to get fine wool, but the place closed down.

    An accurate photo of something the right red would help.

    I could make the exact length required.
