Susan Hottle mentioned this lace under Subject of Christmas today. Â It won't be found in the Arachne archives that way. Â "I realized that I had neglected to post my little wreath. After taking a Frisado class from Carolyn Wetzel at Ithaca, I played around with the #4 gold passing thread & Gutermann silks when I got home .. The bow is brick stitch & made with Delicas. Frisado is a Spanish needlelace that features loops of gold passing thread in various sizes, spacing & density. It is light as a feather & lends itself to jewelry & ornaments. The wreath has a 28 gauge wire rim to give it stability. Susan Hottle USA" Â Jeri continues: In the Summer Bulletin 2017 of International Organization of Lace, Vol. 37, Number 4 - starting on page 24, there is a 9-page article by Devon that tells the story of her Lace Study trip to Spain with other lace makers, some of whom just happen to subscribe to Arachne. Â Title - Spanish Enchantment: a Traveling Band of American Lacemakers in Search of Frisado. Â The number of surviving examples of this lace is limited, and they are difficult to chase down. Â Color photos on each page, and a fair share of adventure. Â Readers interested in 16th C. needle laces made with colored silks and with gold thread will find this most interesting, if they neglected to read it. Â For non-members of IOLI, little can be found by Searching G**gl* Â There was a class in Spain, and a photograph can be seen on the new Brooklyn Lace Guild's Facebook of a result. Â The class used silver thread, instead of gold.
