Woven spiders web is an embroidery term where a single thread is either
woven under and over all the way around, or alternatively goes forward under
two bars then doubles back to go back over the one it just came under and
the next one ie two bars forward, one back back all the time, with all the
stitches going in the same direction. This gives ridges on the side where
you are doubling back. This is an embroidery term as distinct from a lace
making term.
Clare was asking about bobbin lace kopeks/whirlpool fillings (Bridget Cook's
description). The bobbin lace kopeks are worked with sewn weaving at every
bar using two threads at a time, (so both sides look the same) and allowing
the attractive coloured rings or wedges. Yes, kopeks can be made in two
colours creating stripes and patterns. Superficially similar, they are
worked in a completely different way.
Kopek is what they are called in Russian lace which is where they are used
the most.
Many stitches have different names, one of the most basic being cloth stitch
and whole stitch. None of them is wrong, just different depending on where
you are learning or what book you use.
I don’t agree that it is a CORRECTION = changing the heading to Woven
spiders Web is a not a correction, it is just another name for it and a
different method. And we know very well that the same thing is called by
various names in different places. None of them is wrong or needs to be
corrected in my opinion.
Malvary in Ottawa where we have a bright sunny day, albeit cold at the
moment. It was up to +3c yesterday, but -7c this morning.
