kedding

Kedding is used to denote thrush banding across the inlaid creases on certain bifurcated chorns. Certain forms of kedding are less useful than others. Can also be used to describe the irregular rim of a scrimming basin.

John: Hello Peter, how are you getting on with those bifurcated chorns you got last Easter?
Peter: Grand. The kedding on them couldn't be finer.

Scrimming

Scrimming was once an integral part of yarndling, often performed in basins. Hence scrimming basins. These basins are now sometimes replaced with octagonal dry beds, or simply not used at all. The irregular rim of a scrimming basin can be described as having a quality pertaining to kedding. Basins were usually situated next to a threading plantin and/or a vertical knapper. Nowadays, they can be seen more easily from the air.

"Have you finished with the scrimming basin, Jack?"

perice

When yarndling, if the perice grinds against the tallen it can produce an unpleasant rasping noise. Not to be confused with the peruce, which can produce a similar noise.

Did you know your tarifold is missing its perice lozenge?

Barnard Castle

Market town near Durham, thought by some to be one of the first locations of yarndling in the north of England. Scrimming basins have been discovered from the air, dating back to Paleolithic times.

Have you seen the fascinating exhibition of yarndling stools at Barnard Castle?

Yarndling

Ancient craft carried out around the world, often using gloves called chorns. Nowadays, yarndling attracts a fair amount of attention, especially in the summer months, and it is not unusual for tourists to travel to those areas where yarndling is still performed. Since 1938, the British Isles Yarndling Association (patron: Prince Charles) has overseen all competitive threading activities.

The results of the threading competition had been posted in the East Grinstead Community Centre and Graham was pleased that his yarndling exploits had earned him second place, despite the rusty bevelling on his cotter pins.

platern

Platerns have been used since the 1840s for yarndling. They range in size and complexity. The largest ones are often found adjacent to scrimming basins.

Tony would often tell me about his grandfather's antique horizontal platern.
