Hi, I think the "pins" are some type of thorn. I have another picture from a Brazilian book on their Rendas and it shows the same type. Some of the them do not have the blob on top so I think that might be a wax of some sort. All a guess on my part. It is one of those things I was going to look into and never have.......as of yet.
