There are several differences between Teneriffe and Nanduti Lace. My big question is the spelling of 'Teneriffe' vs 'Tenerife'!!! Everything that pertains to the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands is spelled with one 'f''. It seems that things associated with the lace use two 'f's'. Alexandra Stillwell's book is spelled "Teneriffe Lace". It is my suspicion that this is where the second 'f' came from. Any ideas???? Karen Bovard The ShuttleSmith Omaha, Nebraska www.TheShuttleSmith.com Hi Karen My book The Technique of Teneriffe Lace' was written before 1986 when it was published. All the books I had used to research the lace spelt the word 'Teneriffe' with two 'f's, you can see some of them on the Arizona Archives website. http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html , so I used that spelling as the name pertained to the lace, not the geographical location.
