Re: [lace] What is this lace?

What an interesting conversation about the strange lace piece I have encountered. Jo Ann believes it is needle lace. I think that is understandable as you could achieve this effect or something like it with needle weaving, as in Halas lace. But, the fact that the tape can transition seamlessly into

Re: [lace] What is this lace?

Devon, Have you seen the book, "Gekloeppelte Reticella?" As the name implies, they are using bobbin lace to imitate Reticella needle lace. The patterns are nothing like this one, they are very geometric and imitate Reticella. The book does, however, use tallies in this exact manner.

Devon, I think it is needle lace. It's not very complex. A trade or tourist lace? Ask Laurie Waters. Jo Ann Jo Ann Eurell Palm Coast, FL Email: jeure...@hotmail.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@addr

Re: [lace] What is this lace?

Hi Devon It reminds me of Pattern 21A, Book I of Le Pompe, 1559. The braid in the Le Pompe example has picots and holes, but the principle of an undulating floral design worked in a braid, surrounded by straight footside braids appear stylistically very medieval. Your example's thread is in excell

I have encountered another unusual piece. In this piece a tape that you would think would be more easily rendered in cloth stitch is made in the way of a very long talley. Has anybody seen anything like this? Do you have any information about where it might have been made? I have posted photos on h

Yes the upper piece, for storing the lace as it comes off the pillow, is called a plioir. Hard to pronounce with English-shaped vowels :p The second piece I have no idea. An ell is about 45 inches. Does that help? It is an English measure. Perhaps there is a French measure which the wooden piece wo

Assuming it has anything to do with lace at all, could it be the measuring device for an "ell" of lace, which was the increment in which lace was sold. Someone once told me that lacemakers of the past made it by the ell and often lace borders sewn together in ell long lengths if you look at i

Re: [lace] What is this?

I agree with Cindy, this is exactly like several of our cone winders for our sock knitting machines. There are also some with a different iron work design in the wheel, and others that drive direct with a rubber edged small wheel a bit like a bobbin winder on your sewing machine. This one shou

Re: [lace] What is this?

Hi Laurie, I think it is a weaving bobbin winder, the long wooden ones used in the weaving mills. We have a very similar one that came with our antique sock knitter - don't know if it was meant for the sock knitter or just adapted to be used with the sock knitter. Happy lacing, Cindy At 08
