Re: [lace] Belgian color code

Dear all I did Chantilly year 1 at the Kantcentrum in July this year, Lieve Pollet uses turquoise for pairs that are carried with the gimp in Chantilly. She did say it wasn't part of the official colour coding. It does make it clearer that the pairs aren't thrown out which it would appear if a

RE: [lace] Belgian color code

Thanks fort this exhaustive list. Never heard of turquoise, seems to me it could be hard to tell apart from green and blue, colors may present themselves differently on another screens or another printers. What is a turnover stitch in terms of ctp (cross/twist/pin) anyway? I started the

Re: [lace] Belgian color code

Thank you, Greet, for the extended colour code. Most of the lacemakers I know are familiar with the meanings for green, purple, red, and possibly yellow, but most do not know the other ones. Sometimes we have long discussions about it at my lace club. Adele West Vancouver, BC (west coast of

Re: [lace] Belgian color code

I agree with Antje. Thanks for posting the extended list of color codes, Greet. The Belgian color code is pure genius, and has been so informative for me while reading working diagrams of the Flemish laces. It's one of the best innovations in lace-making in the last century! (Can you tell? I like

Re: [lace] Belgian color code

Thank you vey much for your information. I am a fond follower of the Belgian colour code and think that it is a great invention. Knowing how to read it, we can understand many books and try many techniques we do not know, because the colours of the lines show us all! It is also very useful to

[lace] Belgian color code

Dear Arachne friends, Maybe this will help too: Before the invention of the color code, learning lace making was a slow process. Thanks to the Bruges color code, this goes a lot faster. The color code was developed shortly before the first world war in the Bruges lace school and belonged to the

RE: [lace] belgian color code cttct

For technical reasons I just need a color, without annotations like circles or cross marks. In the mean time I remembered some pages on Pinterest. One page of Ulrike's book on Torchon uses brown for ctt. There is also a spiral bound book "Jolanda's vogels" (birds) she uses also brown but for

Re: [lace] belgian color code cttct

Good question. Might it be a green intersection (half stitch), little hatch mark for another twist, then another green intersection (halfstitch)? If there's no pin in the center of all that, it would pull up into a turning stitch, so the diagram would be right for the thread movements. Nancy

[lace] Belgian Color Code

I have two questions. 1. I have color codes in several of my books but have failed to find any listed as the Belgian Color Code. Could someone list them for me? 2. In Torchon Lace, what is the difference between a chevron and a heart? They appear to be the same so I thought the terms were

Re: [lace] Belgian Color Code

It may well be they are one and the same thing, but personally, I would say a chevron is deeper and a heart is more heart shaped like a chopping a corner out of one side of a diamond. Claire Kent, UK Claire Allen www.bonitocrafts.co.uk Crafty stuff I want to show off. On 14 Mar 2010, at

Re: [lace] Belgian Color Code

Hello Delores. Most recent books follow the Belgian Colour code, although it doesn't say it is the Belgian one. The colours used are: Cloth stitch (CTC): violet Whole st. (TCTC): red Half St. (TC): green Braid: blue Gimp: yellow Sometimes Dieppe (TTC pin TC) is represented by orange, instead

Re: [lace] Belgian Color Code

1. I have color codes in several of my books but have failed to find any listed as the Belgian Color Code. Could someone list them for me? I presume that Belgian colour code is the one used by the Kantcentrum in Bruges. The standard colour coding for BL working diagrams is: purple for cloth
