[lace] Terminology help

[Jean Nathan]

This appears to be Czech. 


If so, according to the 'International Lace Dictionary':


Polohod - half stitch
Platno - cloth stitch, whole stitch, linen stitch
tocene - can't find it on its own, but tocena paska - meandering tape

can't find:

tocenych
Reticek ... this might be braid - nearest is Reticella

Re: [lace] Terminology help

[AGlez]

Hello Alice,

A long time ago I bought an International Lace Dictionary, perfect for these
cases.

It says:

Polohod: half stitch
Platno: cloth stitch
tocena paska: meandering tape
tocenych: (must be something related to tapes, as the word has the same
start))
Reticek: plait, braid, bar

I bought the book to the author.
Edith Spee, Ineke van den Kieboom, jophan Coene. GENT, 1998.

Best regards.

Antje, in Spain.

[lace] Terminology help

[lacelady]

I'm starting a motif for which I have only a pricking... no picture or diagram.

The pricking has some word clues but I don't know the language.

I'm sure 'paru' means pair.  The other terms are:

Polohod ... this might be half stitch
Platno
tocene
tocenych
Reticek ... this might be braid


Does anyone recognize these lace terms?
