I remember that some time ago we had some discussion about this term. I was

bobbin lace. Each house featured a

Dear Louise,
Thank you for pointing this out. I guess that, while everything I need to
know, I learned in kindergarten, this is one part of the kindergarten
curriculum that has grown hazy in my mind in the years since. At one point, I

Before anyone makes the connection that this stitch has something to do with
drool, I think the translation is more accurately 'spot' - like a
spit-spot, but not the spit itself!
That is why the shape is circular.
I had help sorting this out via a lacemaker from Slovenia, living in the US,

I am a beginner and would like to learn how to use it.

Personally, not sure what you mean by 'wire vice thread'. Trying to work

But if it's a fine, soft wire of some sort then it will be good for
lacemaking. Do a search in the arachne archives (
You don't say where you are located, or if you are a beginner at
lacemaking itself, or a beginner at using the wirebut if this
helps, a quick google showed that at this site are two books on wire
lace jewellery. The bobbin lace supplier also sells bobbins for wire
lacemaking.
