I was going to introduce my ‘Flower Series’ of Teneriffe Lace Kits first, but I realized (after decorating my own Christmas tree with these ornaments) that the Star Teneriffe Lace Kit was perfect for Christmas!
This complete kit has everything you need to complete these projects (minus a scissor & a needle-threader-if you’re in that age category).
Two projects/designs are included. The design with weaving (top-right) takes a bit more time to complete. The design with only Knot-Stitch (bottom-left, below) can be completed in a jiffy. Once you get the hang of Teneriffe technique, you probably can create several of the Knot-Stitch only designs in one evening–perfect for gifts for the holidays!
I’m soooo happy to report that I have listed 10 of my Modern Teneriffe Lace Kits for sale on my Etsy shop: www.NeedleLaceArts.etsy.com. You can also access my Etsy Shop via the ‘Etsy’ button on the left side-bar of the homepage.
This has been years in the making—designing the pieces, creating the wooden looms (digitally & physically), stitching the design using various threads, and creating the booklets as to how to work Teneriffe Lace in general and for each loom/design. Consider that each of the above steps had MANY steps each, you may get a clue as to how much time & energy has been put into this process to be able to share them with you all.
I will be writing more about and introducing each kit in the future.
Historically, Teneriffe / Sol Lace is done in one color (usually white or ecru) and the thread used is quite fine. Most of the work was done using round/circles, combining them to produce pieces such as the one above
However, Needle Lace Arts would like to introduce you to ‘Modern Teneriffe Lace’.
Modern Teneriffe Lace uses colored threads and unique shapes to create Teneriffe Lace such as the one in the photo below.
