The Spanish ones shown in your links are done on a square pin loom, with warps running in 8&nbsp; directions. Yours are done on a hexagonal pin loom, with warps running in only 3 directions. The use of hexagonal frames seems to be a fairly recent innovation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting that the second link describes their example of such work as &quot;Artesanía del servicio militar años 70.&quot; Which in google translate = &quot;70&#039;s military service crafts&quot;. And in the youtube video it is clearly a man&#039;s hands doing the work. I wonder if it was used as a rehab craft for disabled veterans. It is a small, portable, relatively simple hand occupation.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is more what I would consider a &quot;pom pom&quot;, and what turns up most often when doing a search for &quot;pin loom pom pom&quot; (or pompon):</p><p><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7a/30/bd/7a30bda822a64c6676b209e8dce5d567.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have also found several Turkish videos demonstrating similar pin loom techniques. So I still think it will be difficult to be certain about the origin of your place mats.</p><p><br /></p><p>............</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, I have found an 1885 reference that describes such techniques as &quot;Frame Work&quot; - S.F.A. Caulfeild &amp; B.C. Saward: <u>The Dictionary of Needlework</u> (now available in multiple reprints, as well as online). Here are photos of the relevant pages.
