for further :
Tenerife lace is a needlepoint lace from the island of Tenerife. It is executed on a kind of mold whose notched edge allows the creation of a network in the form of rosettes.
We first execute the radii, circles and festoons which, with the bundles of loops, form the network of the work. Above these main figures, we embroider the ornamental points and finally we cross and we tie the bundles of loops. The needles are very long, curved and without a point. All drawings are first made on a pattern.
The pattern often used is the rosette, it is executed at the repeat point in opposed rows.
