Hello Everybody,
Today I looked through all my material about Goldlace from the time of
Rennaissance and I asked two ladies which are specialiced for that
subject.
The material they used in that time wasn't, in Europe, not gold- or
silver-wire. It was pur gold or silver thread ovr a soul of silk. We
name such a thread Gespinst but I can't find the English word for it.
The pattern of that time weren't only plaited laces. It excist still a
sort of Torchon with plaits in it.
The pattern in Le Pompe weren't only for laces for embroidery and
weaving too. In 1550 Matteo Pagano published a book with patterns and
described in it how to make Reticella needle lace. The other pattern
books were for several purposes.
Greetings
Ilske
