The lacings are for our waistcoats, each one of us has a different colour - (we look very pretty but I will post a photo only when I know you better!! ) As I have a Trollen Wheel this task has fallen on me. I believe the first Trollen Wheels were scandanavian (viking) and made of bone, but that's only what I have found on the internet. It is a very easy task, quick, and can be done whilst watching TV. I use embroidery threads and wind them onto clothes pegs which make them very easy to handle. Once they are all wound on I weigh them down with a little padlock and then start the weave. Simple!
That is fascinating! I can't wait till you post your finished product! I've never seen nor heard of such a lace. The wheel you have is a real treasure!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you for visiting my blog! Morris Dancing is a brilliant tradition - but you're right, people do laugh - I think only at the men though! It's great that you are involved in this and in a creative way too! Have a wonderful Easter! Clare x
ReplyDeleteAny weeks ago, I had also find my Trollen Wheels from my grandma. It is very old. Than I was a child, I had loved to work with them. But for childrens today is a Trollen Wheels boring or not?
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!

Well, it doesn't look so simple! But very interesting -- I haven't heard of it either (have heard of Morris Dancing though!) Am anxious to see much more. And thanks for finding me, 'cause now I've found you! I love all things UK and seeing your pictures makes me feel like I'm there. And your doll in your first post is adorable. Can't wait to see lots more...of everything you've posted!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through "Nostalgia at the Stone House". It was your name that caught my attention! I'm originally from England and have visited Shropshire. Shrewsbury is an absolutely beautiful city, and I've also been to Ironbridge and the Victorian village there. While visiting the Victorian village, my Dad started chatting with one of the brick workers there and it was the first time I'd ever heard a broad Shropshire accent. I think I maybe understood one word in every 3 or 4!! I'll always remember that!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Easter!
Happy Easter! I'm sure the daffodil cross looks fantastic close up. Can't wait to see you in your Morris Dancing outfit! I wonder about the keeping fit though, considering the hostelries and the cream tea I noticed in your previous post!!! Sue x
ReplyDeleteWhy would people laugh at Morris dancing? I think it's lovely... our English heritage & well done to all those who protect it!
