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.

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.

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?

bifurcated

Chorns (special gloves used in the practice of yarndling) are often bifurcated. Bifurcated chorns have a deeper knap and often a finer degree of kedding than non-bifurcated chorns. Historians disagree on the first appearance of bifurcated chorns. Some say Kidderminster in the 1880s, others Wrexham in the 1890s. But what most experts agree on is that the bifurcation process is nowadays integral if one takes yarndling at all seriously,

Maxine showed me her bifurcated chorns yesterday, and I for one am deeply jealous of their magnificent kedding.

Chorns

Gloves used in the practice of yarndling, specifically competitive threading. Origin unknown, possibly proto-Albanian. Traditionally composed of beaver skin. Bifurcated now supersede the non-bifurcated variety, due to ease of kedding.

"Hello Jim, have you been drying your chorns this afternoon?"

"Yes, Derek, they should be ready to use when the knap's fully bronzed."
