Long... âThere is some confusion between "soles" , "ruedas" and "Canary's suns", respect to "Teneriffe roses or suns"...
Originate in Castilla (Spain) 14th. and XVth cent. is the drawnworkâ called "Soles de Salamanca" (Salamanca's suns), "Soles del Casar" (Casar's suns), "Soles Canarios" (Canary's suns) and "Puntos de Catalunya" (Catalunya Stitches), all them take their name depending of the place that they were made. As it is usual in other laces, there are little differences between them: The way that the drawnwork is reinforced on its edges, the shape of the motifs, the combination of squares and circular bands that compound the design, and the prior preparation of drawing the threads once the fabric or linen is mounted on a framework or loom. A minimum of a 50% of threads have to be drawn out, to be considered "lace". The usual motifs: "suns" and "wheels" are additionally made as a needlework. "Canary's suns" are made as the above mentioned, being different as they are worked as narrow bands and then applied to embroidered linens and combined with other technique very typical of the Canary Islands: The openwork. However, when we speak of "Teneriffe suns or roses", we are talking of a different way of the prior mounting threads. Here there is not a loom or framework, the threads are weaved as a radial warp on a circular basis made of metal, card, or similar material, with little holes in concentric circles and then pinned to a little cylindrical pillow. Then it is made the needle work. It is the "easy" way to imitate the "Salamanca's sun" drawnwork. I understand that it is a needle lace craft. This technique was carried to South America by Spanish people, and there it has evolved and has taken its own characteristics. âI hope this has not become too extensive, and it could be understandable....â âGreetings from Barcelona.
