As a complementary information, here it is a link to one of the pages of
a trip report I made Oct. 2010 where there are some pictures of
different types of lace and their terminology made about year 1500 in Spain.

I hope this can be enlightening.
It's possible that the name given to "Randa Tucumana" -a needle lace-,
originated when Spanish people went to America (first time 1492). At
that time the needle lace work, was named "randas"
As a curiosity, in Catalonia, nowadays it is still called "randes"
and/or "puntes" the lace in general.

Hello all,
The mention of a Spanish randa tweaked my curiosity, since an Argentine
friend has been teaching our local lace group a netted lace called
"Randa Tucumana"; that is, randa from the Tucumán area in Argentina.
