Re: [lace] Category for Tenerife or Ruedas
Hi All I make Teneriffe and am about to embark on Nanduti. They are made differently but look similar. They come from drawn thread work which is embroidered lace BUT Teneriffe is made on a circular disc and I have a few that are other shapes (OK all home made). The base thread is held in place by pins that surround the disk. Initially the thread is woven over the base thread, some patterns are formed by knotting the decorative thread onto the base threads. The completed motifs are joined using a knotting stitch. Nanduti is done in a similar way BUT the base thread is mounted on fabric after the centre is completed the the fabric is cut away. The motifs are joined at the initial setting up stage. First motif is free then the other motifs are joined as the base thread is sewn on. Now it is a type of needle lace but has some knotting as its base. Therefore take your pick. When I enter Teneriffe in shows I usually put it under needle lace since that is usually the closest category.

Re: [lace] Category for Tenerife or Ruedas
Long... âThere is some confusion between "soles" , "ruedas" and "Canary's suns", respect to "Teneriffe roses or suns"... Originate in Castilla (Spain) 14th. and XVth cent. is the drawnworkâ called "Soles de Salamanca" (Salamanca's suns), "Soles del Casar" (Casar's suns), "Soles Canarios" (Canary's suns) and "Puntos de Catalunya" (Catalunya Stitches), all them take their name depending of the place that they were made. As it is usual in other laces, there are little differences between them: The way that the drawnwork is reinforced on its edges, the shape of the motifs, the combination of squares and circular bands that compound the design, and the prior preparation of drawing the threads once the fabric or linen is mounted on a framework or loom. A minimum of a 50% of threads have to be drawn out, to be considered "lace". The usual motifs: "suns" and "wheels" are additionally made as a needlework. "Canary's suns" are made as the above mentioned, being different as they are worked as narrow bands and then applied to embroidered linens and combined with other technique very typical of the Canary Islands: The openwork. However, when we speak of "Teneriffe suns or roses", we are talking of a different way of the prior mounting threads. Here there is not a loom or framework, the threads are weaved as a radial warp on a circular basis made of metal, card, or similar material, with little holes in concentric circles and then pinned to a little cylindrical pillow. Then it is made the needle work. It is the "easy" way to imitate the "Salamanca's sun" drawnwork. I understand that it is a needle lace craft. This technique was carried to South America by Spanish people, and there it has evolved and has taken its own characteristics. âI hope this has not become too extensive, and it could be understandableâ âGreetings from Barcelona.

Re: [lace] Category for Tenerife or Ruedas
I’m for “needle-made textile” or “needle-woven textile”. When I think of “embroidered net” I think of a pre-made net that would stand alone as a separate textile, with a pattern then embroidered on it. The base of Tenerife, if you took it off the loom without doing the needleweaving, would just fall apart. So the needle-weaving is the most important part of it. Or you could go old school and call it “fancy needlework” ;-) Adele > What category would you ascribe if you were cataloging a piece of Tenerife > lace or Spanish Ruedas?

Re: [lace] Category for Tenerife or Ruedas
Itâs not embroidered net. Wheel lace or sol lace, or the specific type such as Nanduti or Tenerife Brenda > On 30 Jun 2016, at 16:54, Devon Thein wrote: > > What category would you ascribe if you were cataloging a piece of Tenerife > lace or Spanish Ruedas?

[lace] Category for Tenerife or Ruedas
What category would you ascribe if you were cataloging a piece of Tenerife lace or Spanish Ruedas? Under what words would you look for it? Would you call it "Embroidered Net"? There is an entire realm of things that are similar to these laces called names like Lazy Daisys. These are things that are yarn laid in a fashion on a loom, but not woven. Instead the structural integrity comes from a stitch made with a needle. You can see this process on something called a Butterfly loom here on this youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW1FyGWQf7Q Unfortunately, a lot of these processes seem to relate to looms called Lazy Daisy, Flower Looms, Butterfly Looms, Magic Looms, etc. which seem to be trade names rather than a name for the process.
