Hi All
I make Teneriffe and am about to embark on Nanduti.
They are made differently but look similar.
They come from drawn thread work which is embroidered lace BUT
Teneriffe is made on a circular disc and I have a few that are other
shapes (OK all home made). The base thread is held in place by pins that
surround the disk. Initially the thread is woven over the base thread,
some patterns are formed by knotting the decorative thread onto the base
threads. The completed motifs are joined using a knotting stitch.
Nanduti is done in a similar way BUT the base thread is mounted on
fabric after the centre is completed the the fabric is cut away. The
motifs are joined at the initial setting up stage. First motif is free
then the other motifs are joined as the base thread is sewn on.
Now it is a type of needle lace but has some knotting as its base.
Therefore take your pick. When I enter Teneriffe in shows I usually put
it under needle lace since that is usually the closest category.
I hope this helps

What category would you ascribe if you were cataloging a piece of Tenerife
lace or Spanish Ruedas? Under what words would you look for it? Would you
call it "Embroidered Net"?
