Hello all spiders,

TAM (Arenys de Munt Television), has uploaded a lace video on You Tube that though it has not a great sound and image quality, it is worth watching it, by its great value as docu soap document filmed in the year 1958.

It can be seen how at that time, lacemaking was yet a way of life for many ladies in Arenys de Munt, how the girls went to lace school and worked open air at the home doors altogether with expert all ages lacemakers . The video show the speed and skillfulness they worked and work today Ret-Fi (similar to blonda), the traditional lace of this area. Also the full process of making lace, from the beginning: The pricking of patterns and later the drawing of repeats, and I would like to call your attention to the ancestral reed winder which they used to hold the thread as well as how they manually wound the bobbins.

Enjoy it at:
