Acrylic Lace loom to create diamond insert shapes in 2 sizes. This shape can be used to join 4 medallions

Teneriffe Lace is one of the simplest forms of needle lace. The main ways of connecting the threads is by a simple knot and then darning (needle weaving) to create solid areas. By making small, individual pieces of lace, that are later joined together if a larger piece is required, the work isn't as daunting as other forms of lace making!

In lace making, it is always spelt 'Teneriffe'. This is because the island of Tenerife used to have two f's in the spelling. That changed with time, but the lace did not.

Loom #5 has been designed to create a small diamond shaped insert (in 2 sizes) that can be used to join 4 medallions. This is a great way to build up larger pieces of lace
