\nOne class of textiles which exemplifies beauty and skill is
\nlace.  Lace has a long history from the
\nearliest forms of netting to the modern machine techniques which produce
\ngossamer webs of threads.  Experts
\nclassify lace as either needle lace or bobbin lace but there are other textiles
\nwe consider as lace: knitted lace, Irish crochet lace, tatted lace
\nedgings.  There are dozens and dozens of
\nvariations of lace, each with their unique characteristics.  This can be a bit confusing.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe lace for today is known by several names: Tenerrife,
\nspider, punta de Espana, and sol among others. 
\nThis lace is a Spanish handcraft from the 17th<\/sup> C for
\nhousehold use and was professionally produced in a 19th<\/sup>C revival.
\nWhen used for ecclesiastical garments it was frequently embroidered with gold
\nthreads.  A form was also produced in
\nParaguay using silk threads.<\/div>\n

\nIn its simplest form these needle-woven circular patterns
\nare formed by foundation threads that radiate from the center like a wheel with
\nadditional darning threads woven in different patterns around the circle.  These circles or spider webs are then joined
\ntogether.<\/div>\n

\nA pattern booklet issued by J. and P. Coats in Great Britain
\n(date unknown) instructs making a circle out of cardboard and placing 32 pins
\nat regular intervals around the circumference. 
\nThread is woven through the circle around the pins.  Additional threads are darned and knotted
\naround the center of the web and the pattern radiates outward.<\/div>\n

\nThis kit for a \u201cPolka Spider Web\u201d was a product of the K
\n& K Co., Chicago, Illinois, 1938 and included wooden forms (2 large and 2
\nsmall) onto which the thread is woven. 
\nNote that there is also a pattern for making a square form (you can see
\nthis more clearly on the small forms).<\/div>\n

\nBecause pattern booklets and kits were very popular,  many of
\nthese handcrafted items<\/div>\n
\n  can still be found in antique and thrift shops.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
