How recent is multiple veilwork? I'd' have guessed 90s, but it's only a guess.
I started doing double veil work in the early 80's, I learned 3/4 veil from Marta Schills after her return from Egypt, I think I was about 12, not long after that I started working with 2, I don't recall who else was doing double veil at the time, maybe Saqra?
