TENERIFFE LACE "WHEEL."
Teneriffe lace is
easily made by any- one with neat
fingers. It can be worked
in white or in coloured, thread to match
the household linen. frocks, blouses, or lingerie it is to
adorn. The special frames, dull-pointed
needles, pins, and thread, for
Teneriffe lace-making are quite
inexpensive. Buy the best quality
thread; it gives your work a smooth,
even finish.
One of the prettiest and
simplest designs is the Teneriffe wheel,
made as follows :— Place the wheel
frame on a small, hard cushion, and into
the fifty-two holes round the wheel's
edge put the lace pins, leaving about
one-eighth of an inch of
the pin not pushed in. Attach the
thread firmly round one pin head and
lead it across the wheel to the pin exactly
opposite so that the thread forms the
diametor of the wheel. Continue to
draw the thread firmly, but not too
tightly, round each pin head, working
from side to side of the wheel, and push
ing down each pin head as the thread
is put round it. When all the pins are
done in this way. take the special needle,
with a fairly long thread, and with it
lighten the threads where they cross each
other at the centre of the wheel. Then
darn round the centre three or five
times, taking care not to raise the same
thread in two adjacent rounds. Slip the
needle up a short distance towards the
outer edge of the wheel, and make another
circle. This is formed by drawing four
threads together and knotting them with
the threaded needle, continuing like this
once round the wheel. Slip the needle
up again and make another circle, knot-
ting four threads composed of two threads
from each of the preceding circle's four
knots. This forms a cross. Slip the
needle up again, this time almost to the
pin heads, and form the final circle by
knotting with the needle two threads,
one from each pin, the knots close to the
pin heads. When this final circle is
made, fasten off the thread, knotting securely, under the
wheel, and carefully remove all the
pins. The wheel is then a perfect lace
medallion, ready for inser-
tion in fine hand-made lingerie.
For the many more intricate wheels
and insertions in thin lace, it is advisable to consult a, pamphlet on Teneriffe lace making, which will give diagrams show- ing the work at different stages.
