Clare—Thank you for posting your project & the “mystery” stitch. Looks like the
mystery is solved—it’s a well known stitch under other names! When I was in
EGA, it was called Woven Wheel & when I attended Crazy Quilt events, it was
called Woven Spider Rose, especially when worked with silk
RUSSIAN LACEMAKING by Bridget M.Cook page21 describes how to make a whirlpool
filling with bobbins. Lace Express magazine 2/97 shows “How to make a spider”
using bobbins :same filling.

I'm a bit confused by your email Jeri, are you saying that the Woven
Spider's Web is made with a needle? Kopek filling is made with a pair of
bobbins.
I don't know where the name Kopek filling comes from but I have only ever
seen the filling used in Russian Tape lace and it makes sense for the
sorry, i forgot to trim. there are two methods of creating this depending
on whether you have even numbered or odd numbered spokes. i use this in my
Romanian Point Lace pieces where opportunity allows.

A sampler of my making dated 1974 contains the stitch called Woven Spider's
Web. It is a much older stitch than that. Those of you who own Erica
Wilson's 1973 big orange - Embroidery Book - will find
Hi Fellow Arachnids,
Thank you for posting the photos, Clare. I can now see that both Kopek (a
small Russian coin) and whirlpool fillings are what we would call a Russian
spider.
Happy Lace Making,

normally be 4-7 C.
