I found a nice doily on e.bay that the seller describes as being made of
Linen and Bobbin? lace, he has put the question mark beside the word Bobbin
not me. So he is obviously not certain what sort of lace this is, but is
willing to admit his error, but to my mind it is Tenerife lace and not
bobbin lace at all.
Item no. 270115565755
The description goes on to say "No one does this kind of work anymore" how
wrong can you be? Alexandra Stillwell, my old bobbin lace teacher, has
written books on Tenerife lace and I am sure it must still be made in South
America where it is known, I believe, as Ruedas or Wheels. Perhaps the
seller has no idea how wide spread Bobbin Lace making is either. I don't
have an e.bay account so can't put him right about this perhaps someone else
with such an account might like to tell him.
