Working Tools I think the needle lace is the technique that requires less tools, are just a few things, easy to find, easy sostitruibili: needle, thread, paper drawing, transparent paper, cardboard (including recovery), scissors, and thimble if you are unfamiliar with. A technique
very little dramatic.
However, there are accessories, more or less useful, but certainly fascinating. There we deprive? Never!
So I found the website of the Guild
Needlelace this box:
In the picture you see: above a tool to make circles to use as the basis for the laces, I think Use eg nell'Hedebo. Then there is a very fine crochet hook, I use this places to go to the wire in "difficult", or to secure the wire at the end of the work. Also on the left is a punch made of wood, as well as to pierce the fabric used to give the right to form circles or garlands, using for example the interior of the flowers nell'aemilia ars. A mysterious right two instruments, it seems that are used in the work type Stumpwork to give the right to form flower petals or similar structures.
's not really something essential for survival, but the box is very nice, matte black exterior, red velvet lined, with polished wooden instruments. Let's say that it has a professional, here.
Bottom out of the box, there are two tools I use more. What left is just convenient, is used to pierce the boundaries of design, operation I think is essential to have a clean edge once it is fixed wire eserno. This can be done with the needle, but if the design has become very difficult. The drill, which I bought years ago by Canetti, with its ergonomically greatly facilitates the work.
The other tool is really essential to the tweezers, the plain beauty, the wires used to remove waste once the lace has been removed from the paper (they are the threads that are beginning to secure the wire frame) . I feel much better professional to use it after seeing the movie on the lace Alençon, where to, just like me. For small
laces I do not use the pillow, but for larger jobs it is essential to use both hands and make the work more evenly. Here's my pillow
needle:
As you might guess, is smaller and less hard than tomboli by bobbins, here the work is fixed by fpille security, and the cover should give a bit '. In front of the pillow is what should be the "Murello" are inserted between bobbin lace and to facilitate the work. It 's a simple piece of wood, il mio però è troppo scivoloso e pesante, è quasi inutilizzabile.
