Re: [lace] Threads

[Francis Busschaert]

hoi susan
creuse is not a place
it is a way to produce a thread
it is fully named/called
"broche creuse"
in english "hollow spindle"

it is perfectly for knitting and fat torchon laces
it is not good not bad
there is for the moment much much more exiting yarn on the markets even in the 
USA

kind regards

francis

[lace] International Colour Code for tallies, plaits and leaves

[Jenny Brandis]

Hi everyone

 

I am trying to convert some of my free patterns to the ICC and am working on
Ruth right now, but am not sure how tallies, plaits (blue?) and leaves are
represented - for that matter what colour is used for picot? How does extra
twists get shown?

 

I have looked at Lorelei's
http://www.lynxlace.com/learningbobbinlace-basics.html for help as most if
not all of the books I have are Torchon and pre ICC so any help would be
appreciated. Once I get the working diagrams sorted I will repost the
patterns.

 

Lorelei I really like that you have gone that extra step with yours and
included multiple working diagrams to show that the same pattern can be
varied. So much WORK! It is taking me hours to do just one pattern so I do
appreciate your efforts that you went to with the site. It is a wonderful
source of lace knowledge.

 

Regards

RE: [lace] International Colour Code for tallies, plaits and leaves

[Jenny Brandis]

Sometimes I wish I would just take a few extra minutes before asking for help  

I am sorry everyone, I just had a brain wave and checked my lace library for 
the Torchon: Discover, Explore, Master set of books by Ulrike Voelcher and 
there was just what I was asking about.

Hugs

Re: [lace] International Colour Code for tallies, plaits and leaves

[Bev Walker]

Hello Jenny, and everyone

Looking at Lorelei's charts, specifically this one
http://www.lynxlace.com/images-h-det-diag/colorcode.JPG
yes plaits are blue.
But in "Point Ground Lace, A Comparative Study", plaits are yellow, as are
gimp lines and a pair involving one thick and one thin thread.
In this book of many kinds of point ground lace which tend to have picot
edges on the headside, picots are shown as a dot within a circle in
whatever colour representing the stitch in the headside nearest the picot.

In my Cluny book, and in my Binche diagrams, extra twists are shown as one
short red stroke across the thread for each extra twist.
Leaf-tallies are shown in yellow in my Cluny book (for one thread weaving =
yellow). I have a Binche diagram with square tallies shown in black.
Both square and leaf tallies have characteristic shapes, so maybe their
specific colour isn't that important vs. ground areas that need
clarification?

Hope this helps.
